Navy court avoids speculation on Israeli attack on Liberty

A Navy court of inquiry released a summary saying it would not speculate if Israeli jets and PT boats knew they were hitting the U S communications ship Liberty during the Middle East war. The summary notes prior surveillance of the vessel from the air but finds no international investigation and affirms Liberty’s position in international waters amid the June 8 attack that killed 33 sailors and a civilian NSA technician.

Survivor recalls a Marine rescue during Liberty attack

A Liberty survivor told AP aboard the USS America on June 11 of a Marine who tried to rescue flooded crew in the torpedo hole area. The account contrasts with Pentagon summaries claiming most died instantly, noting water flooding and a hatch closure that preserved some lives. The piece cites 34 dead, 75 wounded, and flags flown as the ship endured six strafing attacks and a torpedo approach before fire from Liberty’s guns.
