During the Six Day War between Israel and the Arab States, the American intelligence ship USS Liberty was attacked for 75 minutes in international waters by Israeli aircraft and motor torpedo boats. Thirty-four men died and 171 were wounded. The ships commanding officer, CPT. William McGonagle was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his extreme heroism and extraordinary seamanship
