The Royal Australian Navy had the same problem when the Iranians tried to do the same thing to them. The officer in charge of the party was able to call in a helicopter and extract the the boarding team by air, avoiding sapture.

The British salior didn't have that option as the helicopter had to return to be refuled.

Local air cover is nice, but if your out gunned you have to play it smart, or you and others could end up dead.:hmm:
