	USS Liberty incident - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The USS Liberty incident was an attack on a U.S. Navy intelligence ship, USS Liberty (AGTR-5), in international waters near the Sinai Peninsula, north of El Arish, by Israeli fighter planes and torpedo boats on June 8, 1967, during the Six-Day War between Israel and the Arab States.
		After recognizing the Israeli standard and seeing apparent morse code signalling attempts by one of the boats (but being unable to see what was being sent, due to the smoke of the fire started by the earlier aircraft attack), McGonagle gave the order to cease fire.
		Israeli officials and Jewish organizations worldwide have asserted that materials claiming the Liberty incident was deliberate are often used as a pretext for anti-Semitic declarations and acts.

		After the establishment of the IDF, the two Jewish underground organizations the Etzel and Lehi joined with the IDF in a loose confederation, but were allowed to operate independently in some sectors until the end of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war; after which these two organizations were eventually disbanded.

		It has also been speculated that the Israeli Navy's three Dolphin class submarines may be capable of carrying nuclear-armed specially-modified Popeye Turbo cruise missiles.

		On 5 June 1967, combat readiness in the navy had been increased to maximum alert, all units were taking defence measures with the dispersal of units and the manning of 50 per cent of anti-aircraft armament on a 24-hour basis.
		In conclusion, one must admit that, although the Egyptian navy enjoyed marked superiority over the Israeli navy, this advantage was not exploited due to lack of effective operational planning and the general loss of control at General Headquarters.
		The Egyptian navy's performance in the 1967 War, taking into account the lack of coordination between the political leadership and the military, must be considered satisfactory, for although it did not achieve any major victories, the navy was not defeated.

		The Navy is examining whether the submarine could have been on an intelligence-gathering mission or possibly checking the level of alertness of the Israeli fleets.

		Ennes, a retired Navy lieutenant commander, was officer of the deck before being badly wounded early in the attack.
		Joe Meadors, Liberty signalman, observed at the Navy Yard gathering: "The Navy cannot investigate itself." Meanwhile, survivors contest Judge Cristol's statement that "some" had changed their minds after the inquiry, noting that he fails to identify them or crew members he claims agree the attack was an accident.
		He informed Navy Times that Israel had knowingly assaulted the Liberty and has worked ever since to "try to get out of it." As surprising, he said, was that the court's president, Rear Admiral Kidd, shared this view, but owing to political pressure from Washington announced the opposite conclusion to the media.

		Nevertheless, Israeli defense planners accorded the navy the lowest priority among the IDF's three arms and, although it had been expanded, some Israeli defense experts warned that modernization was lagging behind that of the navies of the Arab states.
		Although reduced in scope from earlier plans, a modernization program for the navy approved in 1988 included the acquisition of three Saar 5-class corvettes to be built in the United States and three Dolphin-class diesel submarines to be built in West Germany, and the upgrading of existing patrol boats.
		The navy had not established a marine corps, although it had created an elite unit of about 300 underwater commandos who had proved to be highly successful in amphibious assault and sabotage operations.

	The Israeli Navy Sails Into a New Era
		During the 1982 war in Lebanon, the Israeli navy played a critical support role, conducting amphibious landings near Sidon.
		As with Israeli forces on land and in the air, the navy must rely on its qualitative edge in technology, doctrine and tactics to offset the numerical advantage of Arab navies in the area, some of which have access to advanced Western equipment.
		When INS Dolphin, the first of the German subs, arrived in Israeli waters in July 1999 — decked out in bright sea-green camouflage paint and loaded with Israeli-designed systems — it marked the culmination of a 15-year odyssey to expand the power projection capabilities of the IDF’s undersea force.
