What a bad day in the Med.

Blue skies, sailors.

There's a reason not many people remember much about this.

It makes folks uncomfortable because bad decisions in the chain of command put the USS Liberty in the wrong place at the wrong time, and of course the folks who shot it up were our close allies the Israelis.

The survivors have had a difficult time these last four decades getting satisfaction from their own government for these reasons.
