  The Inquest of INS "DAKAR" and it's crew loss in 1968.
                                32 years ago.
For the conclusion from inquest click here.

  25 January 1968, -the Israeli submarine "DAKAR" vanished
  on the way from Portsmouth, England to Haifa, Israel.
  -In May 28, 1999, - the submarine was found near Crete,
  500 km from Haifa, in deep 2900 meter of water (near the
  point of it's last communication with Haifa Navy Base.

  -At last the "DAKAR" is found.. But as 32 years before,
  the secret of its mysterious sunk -left unsolved.

  -The all present explanations of what caused the
  wreck are doubt because they were not proved.

  The autor of this page during the 31 years far
  as 'Dakar' were found), tryed to disclose the
  mystery of the 'Dakar's disappearance in 1968.
  Here written about 'Dakar' and seeking for it.
  There are describe several versions of the
  disaster and research the reasons of it sunking.

  -Now is clear that my supposition of location of
  sunking submarine "Dakar", was assumed right.
  It was found accuracy in the place as I pointed
  (Year before of the "Dakar" found).
  See my 1998 th -letter to Prime Minister

  Up to moment as the ruins of "Dakar" found,
  I was sure as it was caught in a -special net.
  It was my 1968 th version of "Dakar" lost. That
  version up to day left as earthly and logical.

 Because I had not a chance to study the "Dakar's"
 ruins, the publicized information caused me a
 mistakly impression of the general show; so I
 thought as if do not were any ship that got the
 S.O.S. signals of disaster from "Dakar"(in spite
 of as this supposition is not proved), -so caused
 me a wrong impression, as if nobody (ship) do not
 met the "Dakar" after its last communication.

 Yet passible as the disaster occurred as a crack
 in the hull as -a metal fatigue, or  because of
 other technical reason as described in my
second version about occurred with 'Dakar'.

 In 1999 I sent to Government inspector the note
 for to inquest -the wreck, as causing because
 of technologic negligence welding.
       


 But the new proofs caused me to seek the realty
 answers in alternative direction to. Now is very
 important to know, if at last the cage of emergency
 buoy and the tank were found in area around 'Dakar'.
 In the meantime know that the bridge of 'Dakar were
 rised from the bed of sea, but it photo do not showing.
      


 As it attended, the most obtained proofs were
 inclosed from public without any argue of security.
 But as at 4 April I got update about specific form
 of the dam-buoy's cable's scrap and informed that
 the socket of the buoy not found, as the new data
 caused for -change of the kast conclusion.

 -The specific form of cable's end pointed as in
 the time as the wrecked "Dakar" floated helpless
 under water, -above it occurred an action of
 any foreigner ship, that tore out the wreck-buoy
 from "Dakar" together with its socket and cable.

  The actual information caused other conclusion.
             -------------------------
 -The specific form of cable's end pointed that
 at time as the wrecked "Dakar" floated helpless
 under water, about it maybe occurred action of
 any ship, that tore out the wreck buoy together
 with its cage and cable from desk of 'Dakar'.
 So was influenced the destiny of "Dakar's" crew.


     The mystery of the dam-buoy.
     -----------------------
a. The emergency buoy of "Dakar" was pulled out
  from the desk together with its cable and socket.

b. For to break the cable of buoy necessary action
 about three Ton power; in middle of the sea that
 action passible only by partnership of any ship;
 or were extention situation as the buoy released
 by crew in more of 250 meter deep of water;
 or were other extention situation as the buoy
 released just after wreck, but the sunk was so
 quicly, as the buoy pulled out with its' socked.

c. Or this action was causing by any foreigner
 ship that come near "Dakar" or came on the S.O.S.
 signal, or it come before of the wreck occurred,
 or any fish-boat with a -trade fish-net that
 passed here and so caught the wreck-buoy.

d. After any time this buoy was throw out in the
 sea in area of Crete and so sunk on the ground;
 as it cage rest on the ground in place of ~600
 meter deep of water and the buoy floates above
 it on 272 meter (the length of cable);

 so the buoy for a long time was kept in ~300 meter
 deep of water, as it was kept fast only by several
 wires of the damaged cable, that were broken about
 of six weeks before of the emergency buoy was found.

 -For got more accurate answer necessary got more
 information that in the meantime -ignored.

    Do it caused an hostile action?
       -----------------------------------
 My supposition of causing the wreck and what
 occurred with "Dakar" and its crew at night of
 disaster, 31 years ago, 25 January 1968, -made
 as conclusion of research ruins of "Dakar".

 Therefore there are two alternative optional
 versions compatible with obtained evidences.

 1. Or it could been occurred any wreck because
  of technical reasons in the storm situation,
  then the disaster could been occurred as it
  expounded after "Dakar" found.

 2. Or INS "Dakar" were -caught in special net
  (or caught casual) as expounded in my 1968 th
  experience to discovery of the mystery missing.

 Now we should to take into consideration that
 the tank, composed into the Conning Tower
 does not found between ruins of the submarine.

 It should point us to mind that this tank could been 
 dismantled by men from any ship, that could pass at 
 25-26 January 1968 in  the area where "Dakar" found,
 or the crew of "Dakar" does it in purpose of rescue.


 Assumming of the named evidences with facts
 as the emergency buoy of "Dakar" was tore out
 with its cage and as the second wreck-buoy
 does not were released, -these evidences are
 points on the option of causing a hostile act.
 In the meantime only this version give a better
 logical explanation for all what we know.

 We should remember as the INS "Dakar" does
 not were armed, then the negligence or hostile
 action against "Dakar" could been causing
 by any civil ship to. There is probability
 that the course of "Dakar" was disclosed for
 any interesting site that watched for it.

 -Now there are arguments to check again my
 1968 th version of "Dakar's" mystery sunk.

 Then it should to excite the question about
 the destiny of 69 men crew of "Dakar".


 But for other hand there is theory assumtion
 that the toring out of the dam-buoy's cable 
 could occurred if the dam-buoy where released
 at time as the wrecked submarine just sank in
 deep of water more of ~250 meter and if up to
 moment of its come to surfase the submarine
 would sunk in more of 270 meter deep of water.
 Then in principly it could occurred, but in rare
 case as the wreck buoy has tored out with its
 cage without outside intervene.
 But there are other evidences that refute these
 supposition as not so relevance as we have to 
 explain about the vanisher tank, the S.O.S. 
 signals in 27 january 1968, and why doesn't 
 found remains as personal thinks of men, etc.


 We can not to interpret now if these ships
 caused the disaster intentioned or as casualty.

 Then there is open question: does the wreck with
 'Dakar' occurred as technical casualty, or it was
 caught in a special net, -as supposed in the past.

 
 So or other the obtained information pointed
 as could been other versions of "Dakar's" fate
 as if reading about casualty of disaster.


 The fish-both version (as negligence or casualty)
          ---------------------------------
 Yet the case of dam-buoy tore out, could been
 occurred casually by net of any fish-both;
 The fish-man could not seen that in their huge
 fish net caught in any thinks of 350 KG weight.

 Could been as when the men from the fish-boat
 detected the buoy in their net, they throw out
 it away in the sea without informing any one.
 However, the caught dam-buoy could been
 release oneself during any time of floating.

 In that case the following could occurred as
 described in my -previous version

 That hypothesis right for assumption that has
 not caused a hostile action against "Dakar".
  


  Do the tore out the wreck-buoy were casualty?
       ---------------------------------------------
 Yet the dam-buoy tore out, could been occurred
 casualty by crew that came for help after the
 S.O.S. signals. If the men that came for help,
 has not experience, they could toke out the
 dam-buoy on the desk of they ship, then the
 cable could been broken or tore out with its
 cage at moment as their ship lifts on the wave.

 Why the men does not released the second dam-buoy (?!)
 As this dam-buoy seen being in normal condition?

 Now we have to add, as after the last accuracy 
 siking for remains of "Dakar" and his crew, were 
 found remains of personal things of unique man.

 As seen there are evidences for assumption that 
 the "Dakar" was caught by a hostile action.

            -"DAKAR". Israeli submarine mystery.

 -January 25, 1968, -the Israeli submarine "DAKAR" vanished.
 -In May 28, 1999, - More of 31 years after -it was found
 -near Crete, 500 km from Haifa, in deep 2900 meter (near
 the point of it's last communication with Haifa Navy base.
 So I proved for long time before before of found


 -At last "DAKAR" is found.. But as 30 years before,
 the secret of its mystery sunk is left inclosed.
 -The all present explanation of causing the wreck
 are left as suspect version only, but the real
 reason of the wreck up this time is ignorance.

 -But in difference to the past, now we have more
 an actual data for got a real technical answer.

 -With all respect to opinion the famous seekers,
 that found "Dakar", I am not agree with their
 version of disaster because negation of proofs.

 -I mind other version of causing "Dakar" sunk and
 destroying, but before of given my text I would wish
 learn the photo and design data of several details
 that obtained after "Dakar" found; for be sure.

 There is absurd situation, as who got data, told
 for public legends absent logic, this time as I
 take a self mission to disclose the truth without
 possibility seen the rate relevant data.

 So cased in the past, the officials got data but
 during 31 years continued seeking after "Dakar"..

The Update in 30 May, 1999.

 -Maybe 30 years before I caused mistake in discovery
 the mystery missing the submarine "DAKAR", when I
 supposed that "Dakar" was caught in a special net
 (this version designed because has not go to surface
 anything include the emergency buoy wasn't found).
 Till of this time we know not the reasons of the sunk.

 Meanwhile is clear that I expected right that him "Dakar"
 sank because a technic reason, then it could occurred
 near the geographic point of it's last transmission
 maximum in distance of it's possible of 8 hours running.

 -After "DAKAR" was found the version of Michael Eldar as
 though the submarine changed it's direction under rule
 of commander, as written in his book, -is seen not real.
 As fact the submarine found as runs in curse to home.
 See here Other version
                      ---------------
 -But Now, more of in the past we could ask our officials:
 -Did why You sent the seeker expeditions, during 31 years
  to seek for "DAKAR" in Hegey and near Alexandria?!
 -For these expeditions were not any reason and any logic!
 -Absolutely, Always ! In all circumstances!
                      --------------

 -After the American seekers found "Dakar", we make
 bold to decker as tough "Dakar" found as result that
 our officials were so clever for given agree to seek
 for "Dakar" in the optimal area where it was found...
 About these circumstances I will read in other time.

 -For much people is important that "Dakar" at last
 found and there is known the place and time of falling
 the 69 young men that in 1968 goes out in the sea.
 The Update in 30 May, 1999.

Dear Friend,
-In 1968 I devote oneself with disclose a secret of "Dakar"
missing, from first day as it was transmitted by radio.

-Then, because a vulgar anti Israeli pooosition of the USSR
government after the 1967 Six-Days war and grown of the
anti-Semitic policy of Soviet government influenced on my
conception that "Dakar" was sunk by a traitress action.
-After that understanding I could not mmmore live in USSR.

-Yet In 1968-1969 I got an original verrrsion of falling
the "Dakar" with it's crew of 69 sailors. But at that
time there were known the only that the "Dakar" wreck
dam buoys do not go to surface, do not left a track.

-The version of catch "Dakar" in the net described
in this site; there were one of practical, earthly
version about "Dakar" vanisher, that was written far
before of it found (it's version of 30 years ago)

After "Dakar" found the officials watch for itself a
privilege for ironic sentences regards earlier seekers,
and critic of their mistakenly versions. -But the last
official comments of "Dakar" sunk is advertised
accordance with version of  USA friends after its found.

-But with all respect to real authors ooof the last
version, as if  'Dakar' wreck happen after it clash with
any other ship, -it could been a mistakenly suppose.

-Yet one year before of it's found I wrrrote about
possibility a collition  of  'Dakar'  with other ship.
But in our case there is anti arguments for this suppose.

-I mean that it is not a time to do exaaactly answer what
realty caused sunk of "Dakar" and what occurred before.

-It's interesting that all clever our ooofficials takes
oneself the clever decides on area for seeking, in time
that I recommended in this site yet one and a half year
before of their doing, and I have written and spoken
with our officials for much years before on absent
logic for seeking "Dakar" near Alexandria or in Hegey.

-The last my letter to our Prime Ministtter and the Defence
Minister sent one year before of "Dakar"s found
-For improve their sensibility to my opppinion I sent this
data to news groups for help find "Dakar", as it written.

-Yet then, I wrote that we have send frrrom optimal points
20-30 radio buoys for check a possible way of "Dakar"...

-In my site written that the captain offf "Dakar", LC Ya'acov
Ra'anan could not deviate out from the official  course;

-Then I wrote that is rational to seek   "Dakar" in distance
of 10-20 mill from the point of it
last transmission with Navy base.

-But if to believe official comments innn our press, "Dakar"
at last found thanks for their clever decision to begin
seek "Dakar" from the point of it last transmission.

-As it clear now, "Dakar" found accordaaance to my compute,
with accuracy 1-2 km. -Maybe our CIC of the Navy, Admiral
Alex Tal will given for me a military rank of "veteran sailor"?

   E-mail me  [email protected]

 In the meantime we have not enough data for got
 exactly answer what caused the wreck with "Dakar".

But after "Dakar" found we obtained several
proofs that made passible to reconstruct the
part of occurred at time of disaster. So I made.

 -Just now I suspect that more feasible as the real
 reason of the wreck could be the changes in the
 body of submarine by inexperienced engineering;
 or there is an unknown reason, that need disclose.

My August 1998 th message to Mr. B. Nataniyahu, the
Prime Minister (written Hebrew in TXT system editor)

As seen from text, Year before the submarine "Dakar"
found, -I supposed the optimal area for seeking
after "Dakar" and told and sent to administration.

Now, more of in the past we must note our officials
that for sending during 31 years the expeditions to
seek for "DAKAR" in Hegey and near Alexandria were
not any reason and any logic! -Absolutely, Always!

The official version of the Israeli authorities
lacks any connection with the reality,
-it also far from logical explanation.

-Herein I try to shade some light on thhhe mystery
how has the submarine "Dakar" vanished.



-In 9 January 1968, the Israeli submariiine "Dakar"
 sailed from Portsmouth, England to Haifa, Israel.

-25 January, 1968, 0:05 AM was its lasttt radio contact
 with the Israeli Navy base in the Haifa port.
 There were difficalcy during last communication.
 The watching at 8:00 AM next communication from
 "Dakar" do not were occurred.

 -27 january the Nicosia radiostation received
 the S.O.S. of the "Dakar" wreck buoy frequancy.

 -In 27 January was publication about missing the
 submarine "Dakar" and began seeking for it.

 -But after the last contact there is not left any
 track about caused with "Dakar"; -it vanished.



-There not found its dam-buoy, that mayyy automatically
(so I understand by mistake because of lack of knowledge)
come to surface and send S.O.S. in case of shipwreck.
Till now, -30 years after is known not much:

-Is known the geographical point on Mediterranean
from where "Dakar" sent its last radio-signal.
-as left the way for 250 miles to home,,, Haifa.


-The submarine runs with speed 6 miles per hour.
By the last contact the submarine got command:
-to delay 24 hours its arrive to base,   port Haifa.

-In February 1969, on the beach near Gaza
found the dam-buoy of the missing submarine.

-Ten years after its found the dam-buoy was
 tested in Marine Ecology Institute laboratory,
 that has given conclusion as the dam-buoy for
 a long time was in ~300 meter deap of water.

-The submarine was not armed, (maybe
 because for its long way all possible weight
 took solar for its Diesel machine).

-There is not much evidence of "Dakar" vanisher.
 -Yet was known that -in this same period has
 vanished the France's submarine "Minerve"
 in the similar mystery circumstances.




-In 1968 (or maybe in 1969), I discoverrred
the mystery vanisher of the submarine "DAKAR".

-On my opinion the submarine was caughttt in a
special net and then either sank on the spot
or towed away from the place of its catch.

-At the time of 1968 every Israeli soldddier
 was for me a brother and the mother.
-The vanish of "Dakar" and loss of
 its 69 crew touched my heart.

-A long time, during many months; the dddays and
the nights I had seek the answer about the tragedy
caused with "Dakar" and with my 69 brothers.

Then I carefully controlled all versions of the
vanisher by considering the circumstances and
facts, as were transmitted by the radio broadcasts.


-Three long years I kept my secret frommm anybody.
-As the rule of the USSR got me rectifiiication
for repatriation, as in 9 June 1972 (on the
second day after immigration in Israel), I came
to Defence Ministry for given my discovery.
-Then I though that my proposals could   be
useful for Israeli security.

-In first months of 1973 I personally bbbrought and
presented for the Armed Forces Staff in Tel-Aviv
a draft sketch of a presumed special net,
including a system of the floating weights from
iron or glass that could be occurs the cause and
effect of disappearance the submarine "Dakar".
- Also I attached a written textual exppplanation.

Then one of the staffs officers told me without
any feel that he mocked at me, that there was
idea likely "the submarine had been swallowed
by a monster." -It is not was funny..

-But my real and basic version of "DAKAAAR's"
vanisher was totally ignored by the officials
-without any explanation.

-Now it is proved that the official exppplanation
nowadays is not logic. -It is not see earnestly.

-Although all negations, on basis everyyything what
is known till to-day, the proofs confirms that my
disclose in 1969 about "Dakar's" vanisher -is right.

-I ask the administration to give an annnswer :
-If you believe that your version is real,
 then please explain:

-Why the submarine "Dakar" with its dam-buoy
have been found in the depth 300 meter!!?
-Why was not found the second dam-buoy?
-Were there two buoys!? -Yes or No?
-Is the depth of the Sea near Alexandria -300 meter?
-How can the captain act against other country
 without the high command?!? (-So they pleads).
-If this command was given, why did you search
for "Dakar" near Cyprus?!
-Could the fault of the diesel-machine cause any
resistance to the submarine coming to surface itself?
-Why did they not return to use the electric machine?
-Why are you sure that the Russian admiral must know
everything what was going on in the Mediterranean Sea?!
 (as he declared that USSR Forges no met with "Dakar".
-What happened with the France's submarine 'Minerve'?
 -it has vanisher in the same time with "Dakar".

-Important:

-I suppose the possibility that the dam-buoy could
be left at any point of the Sea after the capture
of "Dakar's" vanisher. (post factum (after case?).

-The Haifa's Marine Institute test and conclusion
does not contradict my version of catching "Dakar"
in the special net with special float-weights system.

-If at the place where was "Dakar" the free depth
of Sea is 300 meter, -then the two dam-buoys have
come to the surface immediately after the shipwreck.
-What could catch the dam-buoys in thisss moment?!

-I answered on this question:
-It is possible that the dam-buoys were closed
by the same net, together with the submarine.
 - I had explained exactly this moment.

-My conjecture about the secret of "Dakar" vanisher
is build exactly on control of the reason why does
the dam-buoys are not come to the surface of the Sea.

-I explained to relevant peoples that the finding
dam_buoy could be send at it place or in other
place after catch the submarine. -It is possible.
My discovery version give answer on all quests.

-In 1973 I personally had bring and gave to the Armed
Forces Staff peoples in Tel-Aviv the draught schema
of the supposed special net with system of the float
weights that could be the cause and effect for catch
the submarine "Dakar". I gave them a textual explain.

-On the same draft I gave the schema of the
capture of the submarine accordance to my version.
-There I drafted the net with a system   of floats
between two ships and the attacked submarine.

- On the other drafted scheme was draft of
proposal for building the small submarines.

-I wish remind the important:
-In this period has vanished the France's
submarine in the similar mystery circumstances.

-I explained to relevant peoples that ttthe finding
dam_buoy could be send at the place or in other
place after catch the submarine(post factum).
Conclusion:

-The fancied that "Dakar" set on light   soil ground
near Alexandria go wrong with the researches
explaining of the depth of 300 or more meter.
One version go wrong against other official version.




-After seeing the television reportage   of Michael
Limor, I go be sure more then in the past that
my first version give logical explaining the
"Dakar" vanisher and answers on all quests.

-It is important to pay attention that   the
"Dakar's" vanish by using the net, -could
be cause not only by military forges!

-The net could be any experimental net   with a
pneumatic-hydraulic system control apparats for
changing the depth of the net's submerging, with
makes from iron or glass floats and weights.

-The peoples, who tested the new net cooould not know
why at night, in the storms Sea was vanished they a
kilometers long net, together with the equipment.

-Perhaps one jolly boat of 30-40 ton suuuddenly sank
with its net together, at night in this storm Sea;
-the people could not understand what cccaused then.
-We must pay attention on all technicalll alternative.

-If a little ship sank in these circumssstances, it
could be more risky for submarine then a big vessel.
- It is important to pay attention, thaaat my version
of the submarine catching by net gives an exactly
answer why the dam-buoy occurred in the depth of
300 or more meter for long time. So explained the
cause and effect why the submarine sank.

-I sure that till now not was any one ooones that gave
the answer more logical, base more carefully of my.
-I could explain more the dynamics of cccaused with
"Dakar", but any one no interesting in real answer.

The official peoples till now gives the supposes
on strange behavior of captain of "DAKAR", they
searches and fancied the psychological mistakes of
others, - but not discuss the itself's mistakes.


Important:

- The point of "DAKAR" could be in radiiius no longer
of its runs in pause of two radio-connections.
-It could cause in runs of 10 - 20 miles or 70
miles of the knowledge point.

Then,
-If the dam-buoy was not sent down after case.
-If the Institute's conclusions are riggght,
 then in the depth of 300 meter, exactly in the
 point where in the past has been its dam-buoy,

  -Here is the mystery place of "DAKAR"!
  -Here it is covered by a heavy net!
  -There is the brothers grave of 69 sons.

-The submarine disposed in any inconceiiivable
position. -The net during the past years
become covered with the Sea's flora and fauna;
-Then very difficult to find the submarrrine.
-Now I am sure more.    -So it could caaause.

-I want be sure that captain of "DAKAR""" has not
done any operation without higher commander.

-We may to suppose that the commander uuused the
free time situation after got order to delay came home
for learn after got occasionaly free time situation
for learn his sailors to operate with appliances of
the new submarine and test they interaction.
-In the Sea was many ships, -it was whaaat to do.
-Here it can occurs the cause what I describe.

-I believe that Russian admiral told trrrue.

-"Dakar" couldn't run away far of  70 kkkilometer
from the point of its last contact, -to any site.

-Then the conclusion:
-It caused not near Alexandria or near   Cyprus.
-But it is clearly that we could find """Dakar"
in place where in depth more 300 meter, there
is the flora like to the tested on the dam-buoy.
We could find "Dakar" would we search from
these geographical Mediterranean point, where
got the last communication, -not from Haifa.

-In this season (now) we must send in ttthe Sea
20-30 radio-buoys in all the supposed places for
find the possible place where could sank "Dakar".
-Accordance to your explain for public...

-Attention!

-Maybe anybody know about a little fishhh boat
sank in 25 January 1968 in the middle of the
Mediterranean Sea, please write me !!!

-Maybe it is known in any Marina's Insuuurance
Company about any shipwreck in this time !!?

-In 1968 could be Claims Damage because loss
or sank an equipment with a new fish's net
because the storm in Mediterranean.?!

-The old mariners would remember these   case.
-Please ask them. It caused in January   1968.

-If anyone have any information, alternnnatively
opinion, -please write me. Together we can to
find the right answer, for disclose the mystery.

  PS.   (addendum March 7, 1998 )
-At last time announced about the -High Court
prohibition for publication of colonel's Michael
Eldar book about disappearance of the submarine
"Dakar" with his 69 men crew.

As followed after publicized in media, the author
build his version on an evidences and on his
personal familiarity with circumstances that I do
not knew and not related on them in my disclose.

.. The year 1968 were period of hostility and
suspiciousness; -then I thought that the Israeli
submarine was damaged by hostile, then I has seek
the technical causation of the mystery vanisher:
-Why the submarine has vanisher and nottt left any
proof about what happened at its last moment?

This circumstances got me to lead that it could
happen in case if the submarine caught in a net.

Now I ask to pay attention that the interpretation of
colonel M. Eldar do not go wrong with my version
of the technical question -what caused the sinking.


The High Court for Justice forbid publicize the
Micael Eldar's book about "Dakar" because
the Army argued as if the publication would
hurt for families of the perishes sailors.

-In this situation is very relevant a qqquestion:
If the Army understand, that the uncertainty of
the realty for long time (tens years) is more
hurt than a knowledge of the cruel true.??!

-For other hand, him now would know thaaat the
Israeli high commander 30 years before gave
the command change the direction of submarine
"Dakar" to Alexandria for intelligence service,

-if this data could influence the interrrnational
 relation of Israel with Egypt?! -No, it is not.

-Him it caused accordance to proposal ooof colonel
Michael Eldar, -it was a natural command because
it was the period of war between Egypt and Israel.
-On my opinion this aspect do not coulddd be the
reason of prohibitory decree.

-The publication could cause a discuss   the main
question: -did command to send the submarine for
intelligences service at time of end his long way,
without update, -if this command was rational??!

-About the conversation of any Egypt caaaptain as
though his crew bombed and sank "Dakar" not seen
real. The Egypt has not any reason for sealant
the sinking of Israeli submarine, -not was the
reason for sealant in the past and is not now.

-Him the Egypt Marine Forges was sank ttthe Israeli
submarine then the Russian admiral has know this.

The Technical data:
The submarine has built in England in 1944,
-It's length ~90 meter, the displacemennnt  1700 ton.
 It toke part in the Two World War,
In 1968 after modernization it bayed to Israel.

The Israeli specialists make light addendum to
the submarine hull for better use the submarine,
but the changes could not did better the
stability of submarine by a storm's condition.

The Conning Tower of the submarine was grown;
(then has growning the area of the wave's knock, etc.

-Into the Conning Tower placed a tank ooof 5 Ton
 as this design and with composition on the
 hull caused a real danger for the submarine.

-In this way was grown the real capsize moment.
 Then the capsize power caused be more of used.

Especially these changes could cause difficulty
at moment of submarines coming to surface for
ventilation needs in storm condition, as the
vessel has not an exactly orientation relative
with direction of waves attack in storm.
