When you add all these events with the docking of the Aegis ship San Jacinto at Haifa, you know something is up. Think about it, an Aegis ship, not excluding the fact that the San Jacinto is the #1 in her class, is by herself at the dock, it violates most procedures.

US Warship to Dock at Haifa

First, Aegis ships are on the outer ring of a carrier group. Their state of the art radar and sonar help protect the carrier(s). Where's the rest of the fleet?

Second, for her to be docked would indicate she is either damaged or carrying Israeli personnel, maybe even wounded. A mossad dive team that got messed up sabotaging the cables would explain it. They would be transferred to Israeli hospitals, not US hospital ships.

Third, an Aegis could provide a lot of useful signal intelligence to the Israelis while they were knocking out the cables. Naturally, the San Jacinto would have helped as much as it could while a running battle was going on beneath the surface between the USS Jimmy Carter with Russian and Iranian submarines. The SJ could also have been carrying survivors from the Carter.

The locations of the five breaks in the cables are so far apart that it would take a combined operation of several ships, submarines, and ROVs. Anyone surprised that the US would be involved?
