This either has no sound or it was removed by AP or another source possibly due to the Navy blaming Israel.
On June 8, 1967, 34 U.S. servicemen were killed when Israel attacked the USS Liberty, a Navy intelligence-gathering ship in the Mediterranean. (Israel later said the Liberty had been mistaken for an Egyptian vessel.)
