USS Liberty Attacked and America (The Ship) r
How many remember June 8th, 1967?
"While most of the crew did not realize what was happening, the tempo of activity tripled. Planes were quickly armed and pilots briefed on the situation. Planes just launched were all recalled and the deck made ready for the freshly armed aircraft. Only after the planes were fired off the cats was word received of Israel's admission of the attack and of her apologies to the US Government. The planes were immediately recalled and one chapter of history was never written."
I quoted the above right out of my Cruise Book. But what a day that was - I'll never forget it.
