The first intelligible signal received by the Liberty was an offer of help following the torpedo attack.” https://2001-2009.state.gov/r/pa/ho/frus/johnsonlb/xix/28064.htm#:~:text=Prior%20to%20the%20torpedo%20attack%20the%20Liberty%20neither%20received%20nor%20dispatched https://www.history.navy.mil/about-us/leadership/director/directors-corner/h-grams/h-gram-007/h-007-1.html#:~:text=Accounts%20conflict%20as%20to%20whether%20Liberty%20responded%20with%20a%20hand%2Dheld%20lamp https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/quot-the-uss-liberty-case-closed-quot#:~:text=the%20torpedo%20boat%20squadron%20was%20ordered%20to%20hold%20its%20fire%20pending%20further%20attempts%20at%20identification
