On June 8, 1967, in the midst of the Six Day War, a state of the art intelligence ship controlled by the National Security Agency was sitting near Egypt in international waters when it was attacked by unmarked Israeli aircraft who strafed its decks and dropped napalm. An unmarked Israeli naval vessel torpedoed its target five times. For seventy-five minutes Israel pummeled the unarmed U.S.S. Liberty and when it was over 34 Americans were dead and 172 wounded which amounted to two-thirds of the ship’s crew. Israel owned up to the attack but claimed it was an accident, that the ship was mistaken for an Egyptian vessel.
