that morning when we arrived on site
there were we counted 12 overflights of
reconnaissance really reconnaissance
aircraft they took pictures of us they
knew who we were we were flying the
American incident and our ship our ship
looked like a very different kind of
military ship we first of all were not a
man of war and we'd had something like
40 some antennas from stem to stern a
very modern looking vehicle of what I'm
trying to say is that he later said that
they thought we were the Egyptian
Chapelle crews are and that's that's
foolish as the Liberty was twice the
size and it was then we were well marked
the across the stern with very large
letters in USS liberty and our flag was
flying 99% of the time during the attack
they at that dip one a smaller flag was
shot down or our captain ordered our
call it holiday colors to be put up
which is a very large flag so there was
no they knew who we were as a matter of
fact as we were trying to give us in the
May Day to the 6th fleet part our
circuits Berg were jammed
now those frequencies of six frequencies
that's very important because they knew
the frequencies we were going to use to
communicate with the sixth fleet and
they were jamming them but we did manage
to finally get through
