LIBERTY INCIDENT On AMERICA ' S second Mediterranean deployment, she was awarded the Battle Efficiency E for the best Atlantic Fleet aircraft carrier. During this 1967 cruise, the Arab-Israeli war erupted in the eastern Mediterranean. At midday, 8 June, the technical research ship, (JSS LIBERTY (AGTR-5), was attacked by unidentified air and sea forces. Within minutes, AMERICA ' S F-4B fighters were airborne to protect the task force and aid LIBERTY, only to find out from Tel Aviv that the attack has been accidentally committed by Israeli aircraft and torpedo boats. The next day, AMERICA rendezvoused with the crippled ship south of Souda Bay, Crete, where 50 wounded LIBERTY crewmen were trans- ferred aboard to be treated by the ship ' s doctors and corps- men.
