[QUOTE]Originally posted by The359: [QB] I think this would be playing a bit of devil's advocate, but... Are all Israeli fighter pilots trained to identify every single type of naval ship in the world? Their superiors may be at home, but I don't think you could take a random Israeli pilot, show him a picture of a ship, and have him identify its type and what country it is from. Second, how is the communications officer able to be sure that the Israeli pilots confirmed they were firing on a American ship? Wouldn't they be speaking Hebrew? Would he be able to translate Hebrew? Third, and this one is just an idea in my head, but couldn't the Israeli pilots have interpreted the raising of the American flag as an attempted deception by the "Egyptians" to trick the Israeli's into believing that they were attacking an ally? I don't know about you, but it'd be a trick I'd use to try to sneak past someone who is attacking me... [/QB][/QUOTE]
