      I'm wondering what was actually on the ships to warrant them being maintained for 8 long years. Surely that was a massive loss to the company involved. But then again, I guess in hindsight that's obvious but the people actually living through this event thought the situation would clear up after just a few months... and after the first few years it was just a matter of sunken cost fallacy... no pun intended

      More than likely German work ethics in not growing complacent and letting their ship's maintenance routines slip, Germans being very efficient at whatever they set their mind to is a stereotype for a reason. I imagine other crews kind of gave up on the thought of getting the ships out someday and instead knew they would just be flown off, whereas the Germans took their duty seriously and kept their ships in tip-top condition.

They just died because of some stupid disagreements between some royal losers and it wasn't even their fault. Imagine what the world would be like without wars. Maybe technology would be already 1000 years worth of advancements higher and problems like pollution and global warming wouldn't exist. So...

Also, not to disregard German engineering, it probably would've been cheaper to maintain a few ships and not all 15 cargo ships. I haven't researched on which ships or how old each ship/big in size or advantage, but that probably matters too when choosing which ship to maintain nice.

      @Haren94 The Liberty wasn't an American destroyer. It started life as a Victory class cargo ship named Simmon Victory in World War Two. The Navy bought it in 1963 to use as a technical research ship. Why would the Navy buy a cargo ship to use as a technical research ship? Because a "technical research ship" is a spy ship and would fit in perfectly with other cargo ships.
      When I was young, my family knew a crewman that was there during the attack. He was a radio operator. They were told to leave the room so that civilians could use their radios. This was just before the attack. If you knew what they were using the radios for, you'd know why Israel attacked.
      The United States knew why the Israelis were attacking and knew that they'd stop after the radio traffic stopped. This is why no one was allowed to go to its aid during the attack. The United States is happy in accepting the "case of misidentify" from the Israelis so that they don't have to admit what they were doing.
      The Israelis had four jets and three torpedoe boats. They could have sank it if they wanted to.

    This is a brilliant story! I have never heard of this event and I am inspired to write a book on it or something. This would make a great movie in the vein of Argo. Yacht racing in a body of water with 1 million mines! Brave men indeed.
