Say what? However one of the airborne platforms <deleted> had collected voice conversations between two Israeli helicopter pilots and the control tower at Hazor AIrfield (near Tel Aviv). Control told helicopter 815 at 1431 hours that "there is a warship which we attacked. The men jumped into the water from it. You will try to rescue them." Although there were other references to a search for men in the water, no personnel from the Liberty had jumped overboard. At 1434 hours, the control tower told helicopter 815 that the ship was Egyptian and that he could return home. At 1510 hours, the controller asked 815 to identify the nationality of any survivors. Subsequently, the helicopter pilot reported seeing an American flag on the ship. In another portion of the conversation, the pilot of helicopter 815 that number GTR 5 was written on the ship's side and that behind the number were several uninflated lifeboats. At 1621 hours the helicopters were instructed to return home." nsa.gov Page 35 of above. SO: Helicopters were dispatched to pick up Egyptian survivors. Believing the ship was Egyptian, one helicopter is recalled. On discovering it is American, BOTH are recalled. ?????????????????????????????
