 FOIA Lawsuit Against NSA on the 1967 Liberty Incident
The Amberiack was not in the vicinity of the coast of Sinai off El Arish on June 8, 1967 and her commanding officer at the time has publicly stated Amberjack was not there and thus heard, saw and recorded nothing between 1100 Z and 1300 Z on June 8, 1967.
This is further confirmed by the official deck log of the USS Amberjack for the period 1-9 June, 1967, released under FOIA, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit "F".
The log places the Amberjack at Souda Bay Harbor at 1517 on June 9, 1967, a position Amberjack could not have reached, even if sailing at maximum speed, if Amberjack was at the Liberty's position 24 hours earlier.
