USS Liberty after 5 hours Israeli air and sea attack and murder of US sailors in their impotent attempt to sink a ship.
Admiral John S. McCain, Jr., then Commander-in-chief, Naval Forces Europe (CINCUSNAVEUR), at his headquarters in London, had charged Admiral Kidd (in a letter dated June 10, 1967) to “inquire into all the pertinent facts and circumstances leading to and connected with the armed attack; damage resulting therefrom; and deaths of and injuries to Naval personnel.”
McCain was responsible for sweeping the incident under the rug and shutting up the surviving sailors for 30 years.
