Operation Noa
Quote:
The
Cherbourg Project
(or
Boats of Cherbourg
) was an
Israeli
military operation that took place on 24 December 1969 and involved the escape of five remaining armed
Sa'ar 3 class boats
from the French port of Cherbourg (
Cherbourg-Octeville
since 2000,
Cherbourg-en-Cotentin
since 2016). The boats had been paid for by the
Israeli government
but had not been delivered due to the French arms
embargo
in 1969. The whole operation was planned by the
Israeli Navy
, and was codenamed
Operation Noa
, after the daughter of
Captain
Binyamin "Bini" Telem
.
