	USS Liberty incident - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The USS Liberty incident was an attack on a U.S. Navy intelligence ship, USS Liberty, in international waters about 12.5 nautical miles (23 km) from the coast of the Sinai Peninsula, north of El Arish, by Israeli fighter planes and torpedo boats on June 8, 1967.
		One hit Liberty on the starboard side forward of the superstructure, creating a large hole in what had been a former cargo hold converted to the ships research spaces, causing the majority of the casualties in the incident.
		One point is beyond dispute: USS Liberty bore an eight-foot-high "5" and a four-foot-high "GTR" along either bow, clearly indicating her hull (or "pendant") number (AGTR-5), and had 18-inch-high letters spelling the vessel's name across the stern.

		Thirty-four years ago, June 8, 1967, a lightly armed United States Navy Ship, the USS Liberty, was assaulted by a combined effort of the Israeli Defense Forces, whose Air Force and Naval units conducted an hour-long attack that resulted in the deaths of 34 U.S. crewmen and the wounding of an additional 173.
		The USS Liberty was ordered by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to stream a position off the coast of the Sinai Peninsula because war in the Middle East was inevitable.
		Liberty was 1,000 miles away from the theater of operation.

	Talk:USS Liberty incident - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The USS Liberty took a profound military risk (or did a great screwup) going in a warzone it didn't belong in for intelligence collection on an ally such as Israel (or an unthreatening non-ally such as Egypt), and you can't always expect to come out of that scratchless.
		So, maybe sinking the Liberty and blaming it on Egypt, but then later apologizing and saying that they did it accidentally, maybe they thought that they were covering their butts in the long run.
		Concerning the book The Liberty Incident, reviewed in the August 2003 issue of Military History, in which A. Jay Cristol alleges the attack was an innocent error, I was a lookout on the bow before and during the attack on USS Liberty by Israeli air and sea forces.

		The attack on the USS Liberty was tragic, but the Liberty was mistakenly identified as an Egyptian supply vessel.
		Liberty crewmen would firmly maintain afterward that the American flag was being flown, but the Mirage pilot's report was taken at navy headquarters as confirmation that the ship was an Egyptian vessel trying to reach Port Said.
		As the Liberty approached Gaza, the Joint Chiefs of Staff first sent a priority message ordering the ship to move 20 miles from the coast; the message was swamped by higher precedence traffic and was not processed until long after the crisis had ended.

	'The USS Liberty': America's Most Shameful Secret
		'Liberty' had been rushed to Sinai to monitor communications of the belligerents in the Third Arab Israeli War: Israel and her foes, Egypt, Syria, and Jordan.
		Most likely because 'Liberty's' intercepts flatly contradicted Israel's claim, made at the war's beginning on 5 June, that Egypt had attacked Israel, and that Israel's massive air assault on three Arab nations was in retaliation.
		Most significant, 'Liberty's' intercepts may have shown that Israel seized upon sharply rising Arab-Israeli tensions in May-June 1967 to launch a long-planned war to invade and annex the West Bank, Jerusalem, Golan and Sinai.
