caught the ship and it began
to sink. A few minutes later,
radio mesages were received
from the vessel, announcing
that the crew was abandoning
ship.
Capt. Harel told newsmen
he had been informed by ship
officers that the Elath’s radar
screens were clear and that
nothing was observed on them
just prior to the attack. He
said that, suddenly, crew mem-
bers on watch observed green
flares from Port Said, followed
by the approach of a swiftly-
moving white cloud, the indi-
cation of a missile. The Elath
had time to change speed and
course but the missile, appar-
ently containing a tracking de-
vice, also changed course, and
hit the Elath amidships, wreck-
ing a boiler. A minute later,
a second homing missile hit
the machinerooms, bringing
the ship to a dead halt. The
explosions stopped all power.
Each of the missile one - ton
warheads contained 1,000
pounds of explosives.
The ship was listing but
still afloat when orders were
issued to treat the wounded,
most of them suffering from
bums, and to try to repair the
damage. As the abandon ship
order was issued and the crew-
men began placing wounded

Elath and it began to sink. A
fourth missile exploded in the
water, causing more casualties.
Shortly after the Elath sank,
Israeli Air Force planes ap-
peared to drop flares, lifeboats
and rafts. Soon afterwards
helicopters arrived and began
picking up survivors. Every
available air and naval craft
was mobilized for the rescue
operations. Some helicopters,
which were carrying the most
severely wounded survivors,
were directed in midair to
northern hospitals for surgery.
The airlift continued all night
through this morning.
Transport planes illuminated
the area to enable rapid heli-
copter pickup. A clearing sta-
tion was set up on shore. Capt.
Harel said he never would
have believed that the Air
Force pilots could find the
scene in the night pitch dark-
ness so quickly and rescue the
survivors with such speed.
Capt. Harel said that the
missile attack apparently had
been prepared in advance and
waged from the Port Said area
with no attempt to identify the
target ship. He said that Is-
raeli naval units regularly pa-
trol the northern Sinai shores
to a point west of the Romani
village. He said the Elath was
on a southerly direction when
it was hit. The missiles came
from either a Komar or Osso
missile-carrying ship. The mis-
siles have a range of about 18
miles.

Despite the damage, crew
