Original Note:
The Liberty was in international waters when it was attacked. It was flying a US flag, & had not fired, when it was repeatedly strafed by Israeli jets & later torpedoed by attack boats. 34 were killed, 171 wounded. Israel later apologized & said the attacks were mistaken. https://www.history.navy.mil/browse-by-topic/wars-conflicts-and-operations/middle-east/six-day-war-liberty.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident
