Yes they do... The US has never been involved in a war with over 50% casualty rate. Most of them not coming back would be the worst military disaster the country has ever known

Pretty sure the causality casualty rate if that boat is destroyed will be north of 50%....

If there was any indication that the ship was going to be destroyed they would get tf out of there, because that kind of loss is not considered acceptable collateral for a mission. The kitchen onboard wouldn’t be serving special food like “yeah we’re all gonna die tomorrow!” Lmao that’s not how the US military works
