Two Navy SEALs Lost at Sea During Mission to Confiscate Iranian Weapons

Christopher J. Chambers jumped into the sea in a heroic attempt to save fellow SEAL Nathan Gage Ingram during the operation.

Navy Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Christopher J. Chambers and Navy Special Warfare Operator 2nd Class Nathan Gage Ingram were lost at sea during a mission to confiscate Iranian-made weapons from an unflagged ship.
Chambers, a Massachusetts native, jumped into the sea to save Ingram who had slipped and fallen under the waves as he tried to climb aboard the ship.
The 11-day search and rescue mission to locate the two SEALs was called off and became a recovery effort.
Chambers enlisted in the Navy in 2012, and graduated from SEAL training in 2014.
The two men were part of a team that boarded the ship, and seized an array of Iranian-made weaponry while facing off with 12 crew members.
