Claim: The photo shows a damaged USS Liberty Navy vessel hit by Iranian missiles in Bahrain.
Fact-check: An old photo of the USS Ingraham ship, sunken by the US Navy, is shared with a false claim - FACTLY
Verdict: the photo does not depict the uss liberty navy vessel. rather, it shows a decommissioned us navy ship named the uss ingraham, which was intentionally sunk by the us joint forces during a naval exercise. the uss liberty, a us navy technical research ship, was attacked by the israeli army back in june 1967. as of now, there is no uss liberty in the us navy fleet. hence, the claim made in the post is rated as false.
