I'm wondering what was actually on the ships to warrant them being maintained for 8 long years. Surely that was a massive loss to the company involved. But then again, I guess in hindsight that's obvious but the people actually living through this event thought the situation would clear up after just a few months... and after the first few years it was just a matter of sunken cost fallacy... no pun intended

More than likely German work ethics in not growing complacent and letting their ship's maintenance routines slip, Germans being very efficient at whatever they set their mind to is a stereotype for a reason. I imagine other crews kind of gave up on the thought of getting the ships out someday and instead knew they would just be flown off, whereas the Germans took their duty seriously and kept their ships in tip-top condition.

@Haren94 The Liberty wasn't an American destroyer. It started life as a Victory class cargo ship named Simmon Victory in World War Two. The Navy bought it in 1963 to use as a technical research ship. Why would the Navy buy a cargo ship to use as a technical research ship? Because a "technical research ship" is a spy ship and would fit in perfectly with other cargo ships. When I was young, my family knew a crewman that was there during the attack. He was a radio operator. They were told to leave the room so that civilians could use their radios. This was just before the attack. If you knew what they were using the radios for, you'd know why Israel attacked. The United States knew why the Israelis were attacking and knew that they'd stop after the radio traffic stopped. This is why no one was allowed to go to its aid during the attack. The United States is happy in accepting the "case of misidentify" from the Israelis so that they don't have to admit what they were doing. The Israelis had four jets and three torpedoe boats. They could have sank it if they wanted to.

If your reasons are just according to the UN-Regulations then the US can't do anything about it without looking like total dickheads and getting themselves into quite a bit of trouble. Considering that it also imports more than it exports that makes it clear that economic sanctions are the way to go, while the size of your economy also makes economical warfare quite appealing.
