  • 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.

A very complete set of photographs was available at that time which were augmented continually during the planning period. Excellent photographic coverage, was- provided. Early, in the planning period, Commodores McGOVERR and FLANAGAN, who had been designated as Transport Squadron Commanders, ? were ordered to PEARL HARBOR and their- presence aided materially in the early preparation of plans , - (2) Practically all vessels assigned to the operation were new, with no combat experience.

  • THE BATTLE for LEYTE GULF 25 October 1944: Off the Central Philippines (Lt
    THE BATTLE FOR LEYTE GULF 25 October 1944: Off the Central Philippines (Lt. Robb White, USNR, Public Relations, CinCPac) 0900 - Shells from Japanese Battleships have been falling closer and closer. The three destroyers of Taffy Two are drawn up in battle line astern of the six baby flattops. They look lonely and small with the geysers of the Japanese shells around them. The situation is very simple. Three groups of escort carriers, the baby flattops, are being attacked by a Japanese force of four battleships, eight heavy cruisers and about 10 destroyers. The carriers have no protection other than their aircraft and destroyer screen. The Japanese force is overhauling the center group of carriers at the rate of 7 miles an hour. The three groups of carriers are arranged roughly on a north-south line parallel to the Philippine Islands and are steaming southward, the Jap pursuing from the north. Taffy Three (Kaiser-built carriers Midway (St. Lo), Gambier Bay, Kitkun Bay, Fanshaw Bay, and White Plains) are to the north and are in range of the Jap force. Taffy Two, commanded by Rear Admiral Felix B. Stump (Kaiser carriers Natoma Bay, Manila Bay, Savo Island, Marcus Island, Ommaney Bay, and Kadashan Bay) are next in line and about 30 miles ahead of the Jap. Farthest away is Taffy One (converted oilers Sangamon, Suwanee, and Santee and the Kaiser carrier Petrof Bay). 0915 - The morning is clear, bright, with very little haze, scattered soft cumulus clouds and a calm sea. There is no possibility of escape or even concealment in rain clouds.
