>> the point was that would not it be idiotic to attack american ship in the presence of 2 carriers? <<

the liberty was not in the "presence" of two carriers. you have clearly demonstrated that you know little to absolutely nothing of the incident.

>> and that was from 50 feet away and yet only 34 sailors got killed <<

well if you guys actually knew what you were talking about you would understand that liberty was not sunk, and most of the 34 sailors died as a result of the 40-foot hole blown in the side of the ship by a torpedo. the liberty crew were quite lucky that she wasn't sunk and they didn't have to jump in those machine-gunned lifeboats.
