Terrible but under LBJ, there were two even worse incidences:
1. On June 8, 1967, US Navy intelligence ship USS Liberty was suddenly and brutally attacked on the high seas in international waters by the air and naval forces of Israel. The Israeli forces attacked with full knowledge that this was an American ship and lied about it. Survivors have been forbidden for 40 years to tell their story under oath to the American public. The USS Liberty Memorial web site tells their story and is dedicated to the memory of the 34 brave men who died.
2. USS Pueblo captured - Jan 23, 1968 - HISTORY.com

Every sentence after the first one is a silly lie. There have been 3 investigations. Israel has released audio tapes. Multiple members of the crew and the captain have spoken openly.
The only people hiding things are the National Security Agency, which has blood on its hands for ignoring a presidential promise to keep ships out of the area, and sending in the USS Liberty without telling Israel and without an escort.
