The Unit is on R&R, taking a well-earned* break, sailing a small yacht in the Black Sea. Reports come over the radio that the Russians have, due to their usual incompetence, accidentally brought down a US spy drone in the Black Sea, and are planning to recover the drone.
The members of the unit all start arguing about how the Russians think they’re going to accomplish this feat in the middle of a war in which their navy is losing against a country that doesn’t even have a navy. After a few hours (and a few drinks), they decide the best idea is to just sail on over there and watch the fireworks.
When they arrive, the Russians are deploying divers in old-timey deep sea diving suits that are clearly rusted and decayed. But, it works well enough, and the Russians start winching up something from below the surface.
But as they winch it up, the poorly-maintained winch begins to smoke, and then actually catches fire. Quickly the whole deck of the ship is engulfed in flame, and it starts to sink. Within minutes, there’s nothing left of the salvage operation but a patch of burning fuel oil on the surface of the water.
The Unit returns to port, where they are greeted with acclaim, and are awarded Naval ranks in recognition of their taking out the Russian ship while at sea.
