A group of sailors held hostage for almost a fortnight is returning to their ship off Iraq this week.
Their brave decision also means they will be once again patrolling in a small inflatable boat near Iranian waters - where Revolutionary Guards seized them with seven Royal Marines.
Leading Seaman Faye and her seven snatched Royal Navy colleagues have ALL agreed to go back into the danger zone following their harrowing ordeal - despite being offered cushier postings.
They were all given the chance to stay in Britain for further counseling to recover from their ordeal, which included being made to believe they would be executed.
But they shunned it, leaving Navy chiefs hugely impressed by their steely resolve.
A senior Royal Navy source said,
These are eight brave people whose only wish is to once again do their duty. The nation should be proud of them.
Faye, who revealed her determination to get back to duty in The Sun, said at the time: I’m sure I’ll be nervous going out for the first time, but it’s the job the Navy trained me for.
