One of our U.S. shipyards built the hull in 1994, and the weapon systems were added in Israel.
Thanks. Given the Brit's ship being sunk with the Exocet and now this ship I was wondering about American ships. The captain of this ship may be toast career wise. However, I do not know much about the detection of incoming modern missles. Maybe this hit was just bad luck for captain and crew!
