Navy SEALs Lost in Operations: Tragic Losses in Arabian Sea and Off Somali Coast

Navy SEALs Christopher J. Chambers and Nathan Gage Ingram died in the Arabian Sea while attempting to board a ship carrying illicit Iranian-made weapons to Yemen. Chambers jumped in to save Ingram when he slipped and fell into the sea, but both were weighed down by their gear and did not resurface. The mission was part of efforts to interdict weapons to Yemen, where Houthi rebels have been conducting missile and drone attacks. President Biden and Navy officials mourned the loss, and an investigation is underway to determine the circumstances of the incident.
