INS
Dakar (77-צ) was a modified British T
class submarine formerly HMS Totem (P352)
of the Royal Navy. In 1965 she was purchased by
Israel, along with two of her T-class sisters,
in 1965. She was commissioned into the Israeli
Navy on 10 November 1967 as Dakar (Hebrew
for "Swordfish") under the command of Major
Ya'acov Ra'anan. Dakar left for Israel on
9 January 1968. However, she was lost at sea and
never reached Haifa. Despite extensive searches
over the course of three decades, her wreckage
was not found until 1999. http://www.submarines.dotan.net/dakar/ |
