I think it could have been near or in Israel. Does anybody know the name of the ship or have any info?

Pastor Billy says: before you said Israel I thought you might be looking for the Edmund Fitzgerald sunk in Lake Superior, but now I think you are looking for the USS Liberty which was an American surveillance ship that Israeli forces blew up. I remember reading about this or watching a television expose. They didn't want the intelligence agency to see what they were doing during the 1973 war. Basically they wanted what is called a "fog of war" that the superpower could not see thru and prevent them from action.

SS Edmund Fitzgerald was a lake freighter that sank suddenly during a gale storm on Lake Superior on November 10, 1975. The ship went down without a distress signal in 530 feet (162 m) of water at 46°59.9′N 85°6.6′W, in Canadian waters about 17 miles (15 nm; 27 km) from the entrance to Whitefish Bay. All 29 members of the crew perished. Gordon Lightfoot's hit song, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, helped make the incident the most famous marine disaster in the history of Great Lakes shipping.

I think the poseidon shipwrecked around 1973. Man Gene Hackman was a bad ace saving all those people. Viva la Ernest Borgnine!!!
