Two Egyptian motor torpedo boats were sunk in the action for no Israeli losses.[1] BackgroundFollowing Israel's victory in the Six-Day War, Israel's coastline was significantly enlarged and now included the Sinai Peninsula coast.[1] The Israeli Navy now sought to enforce Israeli sovereignty over this large area and began regular patrols of the Sinai coastline up to the approaches of Port Said.[2] BattleOn July 9 {{INS|Eilat|1955|6}}, an ex-British Royal Navy Z-class destroyer commanded by Yitzhak Shushan, proceeded due west toward the Sinai coast. INS Eilat subsequently rendezvoused with ex-French motor torpedo boats Aya and Daya. The flotilla patrolled northwest of the Sinai coast, under orders to stop vessels crossing the demarkation line toward the Sinai coast.[2] On July 11 at approximately 21:45, the signals intelligence intercept operator in Eilat reported two Egyptian missile boats were about to sortie. The Israeli torpedo boats picked up a target on radar shortly thereafter. The Egyptians were about 15 miles{{Clarify|date=October 2013}} from the MTBs and 12 miles{{Clarify|date=October 2013}} from Eilat, moving east at {{convert|15|kn|mph km/h|abbr=on|lk=on}}. The Israelis marked a course to intercept. Eilat closed from the north, Aya and Daya from the east. The Egyptian vessels, later identified as P 6-class torpedo boats, discovered the Israeli MTBs approaching at full speed and commenced fire.[2] The Israelis returned fire with Bofors and Oerlikons. The initial run scored no hits but the Egyptian MTBs dispersed. The separation enabled Eilat to close one and the two MTBs the other. Twenty minutes later, both P 6s were ablaze. The fire caused their torpedoes to explode. There were no Israeli losses and no known Egyptian survivors.[2] References1. ^1 The Israel Navy Throughout Israel's Wars, Jewish Virtual Library 2. ^1 2 3 [https://web.archive.org/web/20121010141041/http://www.btinternet.com/~david.manley/naval/Bulldogs/israeli.html Israeli MTB Action off Port Said, July 1967], Aryeh Wetherhorn Gallery 6 : Arab–Israeli conflict|1967 in the Israeli Military Governorate|1967 in Egypt|Conflicts in 1967|July 1967 events|Naval battles of the War of Attrition |
