Later in the thread I, and others, came to the realization that given the damage reported, those pics could not possibly be of the Saar 5, Spear, after it was hit.So, what were those pictures of? And are there any pix from the actual hit ship?
They are pics, I believe, of an undamaged Saar 5, sailing. The confusion came in due to the stain marks near one of the aft dishcarge ports on the vessel. Those stains from the discharge, were confused for scrorch marks from battle damage...but they are not. I believe that is how it happened.
