[John H K]

Ever know a naval aviator that didn't know what kind of ship he was attacking in clear weather?

EXACTLY the above happened literally dozens and dozens of times in World War II.

Total misidentifications were routine by reconnaissance aircraft; destroyers as battleships, cargo vessels as aircraft carriers.

And on multiple occasions there aircraft attacked their own countries' ships.

Total misidentifications were routine by reconnaissance aircraft; destroyers as battleships, cargo vessels as aircraft carriers.

And those misidentifications were made by actual experienced naval aviators, unlike Israel where shipping attack was low on the priority list of the IAF in 1967.
