Iranian naval forces in the Gulf tried to capture an Australian Navy boarding team but were vigorously repelled, the BBC has learned. The incident took place before Iran successfully seized 15 British sailors and Marines in March.
The lessons from the earlier attempt do not appear to have been applied in time by British maritime patrols.

Gotta love the Aussies. They're like Texans with funny accents...

Go n jam it in yer pipe august!
texans are like us with a bad accent! :rotfl: deadset, until a person can pronounce "emu" and "aussie" correctly, they are just trying to be like us.
In all seriousness though, it seems strange to me. If the British were caught half on the ropes and half not, then it shoulda taken less time for them to get back onboard in a defensive possie. i mean, the aussies were able to get everyone back on board, and we have to assume there would be a similar amount of warning for the 2 instances.. whats up with the poms?
