USS Liberty Dead In The Water (BBC Documentary 2002)
There were 34 KIA and 174 WIA.
On June 8th, 1965, during the Six-Day War,
Israel attacked and nearly sank the USS Liberty a technical research ship
(spy ship), belonging to its closest ally, the USA.
Thirty-four American servicemen were killed(KIA) and over 174 wounded(WIA)
in the two-hour assault by Israeli warplanes and torpedo boats.

Israel claimed that the whole affair had been a tragic accident
based on mistaken identification of the ship.

The American government accepted the explanation.
For more than 30 years many people have disbelieved the official explanation
but have been unable to rebut it convincingly.

Now, "Dead in the Water" uses startling new evidence
to reveal the truth behind the seemingly inexplicable attack.
The film combines dramatic reconstruction of the events,
with new access to former officers in the US and Israeli armed forces
and intelligence services who have decided to give their own version of events.

Interviews include President Lyndon Johnson's Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara,
former head of the Israeli navy, Admiral Shlomo Errell,
and members of the USS Liberty crew.
