What did happen to those sailors?

Yes I remember now. They got arrested for entering Iranian waters, one of them got the piss taken out of him for looking like Mr. Bean, then they returned and made a nice packet selling their stories to the papers.

The hell those sailors went through would move even a veteran of the Japanese death camps in WW2 to weeping in sympathy.
