  • Une Histoire Qui Ne Manque Pas De Sel ! Jean-Louis Maurette
    Epave de la Soufa au large d’Eilat. (Peinture d’Andrei Loubianov) une histoire qui ne manque pas de sel ! Jean-Louis Maurette Le 21 octobre 1967, le destroyer israélien Eilat (1) effectue une classique opération de surveillance au large de Port Saïd. Cet ex. bâtiment britannique, bien que fl euron de la petite marine israélienne, est d’une conception ancienne et dispose d’un système d’armes datant de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Si ses opérateurs radar peuvent détecter les deux vedettes égyptiennes venant à la rencontre de leur navire, il leur est impossible, vu la vétusté de leur matériel, de se rendre compte rapidement que quatre missiles SS-N-2 Styx viennent d’être tirés et foncent sur l’Eilat, rasant les fl ots à 900 km/h. Quelques minutes plus tard, trois des missiles percutent le vieux navire qui explose et coule en quelques minutes. Sur un équipage de 190 hommes, 47 sont tués et 41 sont blessés. Arrivée d’une des « vedettes de Cherbourg » dans le port d’Haïfa. (1) Destroyer ex. britannique de la classe Z, anciennement HMS Zealous. Commandé le 12 février 1942 aux chantiers Cammell Laird et lancé le 28 février 1944 pour la Royal Navy. Vendu à Israël le 15 juillet 1955. Longueur 80,1m, largeur 10,9m. Déplacement 1710 tonneaux. Propulsion : 2 turbines développant 40 000 cv. Vitesse maximale 37 nœuds. 186 hommes d’équipage. Armement : 4 canons de 11,4 cm, 5 canons Bofors de 4 cm, 8 tubes lance-torpilles de 53,3 cm. 20 L’entrée brutale du missile mer-mer dans le confl it israélo-arabe vient soudainement transformer toutes les conceptions de la guerre navale moderne alors en cours et cette salve de Styx déclenche une véritable révolution dans la stratégie navale.

NEW JERSEY BUILT WARSHIPS AT TOKYO BAY ON 2 SEPTEMBER 1945 FOR THE SIGNING OF THE INSTRUMENT OF SURRENDER1 By: CAPTAIN LAWRENCE B. BRENNAN, U.S. NAVY (RETIRED)2 “from this solemn occasion a better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past, a world founded upon faith and understanding, a world dedicated to the dignity of man and the fulfillment of his most cherished wish for freedom, tolerance, and justice.” General of the Armies Douglas A. MacArthur, United States Army 2 September 1945 on board USS Missouri (BB 63) INTRODUCTION On 2 September 1945, 258 warships of the navies of victorious Allies anchored in Tokyo Bay, near the site where in 1853 Commodore Perry had anchored. The United States Navy, which undertook the bulk of the combat in the Pacific was the largest force; the Royal Navy and the Commonwealth Navies were well represented.3 This article is the story of more than 20 of the New Jersey-built major surface combatant U.S. Navy ships which were present on that historic morning. Fig. 1: Attendance certificate, Japanese surrender on the USS Missouri, signed by General of the Armies D. A. MacArthur, Fleet Admiral C. W. Nimitz, Admiral W. F. Halsey, and Captain S.S.
