The seal team six that jumped out of the sky, parachuted into the sea, climbed into ribs, and finally boarded naval ships. Why didn't they just land their helos in the the ships to begin with? Or any of the less dramatic options I can imagine. Is this scene really practical?

Ballsbridge was a Destroyer, so whether big or small… you will never land it the chopper, hana

My take buna, the Ballsbridge is too small for helicopter land in nighttime, hana

They deployed directly from Northern Cyprus, hana
The plan was the fastest way to get there, and the method of insertion was the most practical, and least dangerous

The plane they jumped out of was probably much faster than a helo.

I know right?!? I've seen C-130s land on the back of Arleigh Burke Destroyers all the time! That scene was so stupid.

It's not only practical its pretty much the only way it could happen.

Why didn't they just land their helos?
Because they weren't in helicopters. They parachuted out the back end of a C130.
