Talk:INS Dakar

[Untitled]
Hey Epopt, thanks for hijacking another one of my articles (Khan 02:41, 5 November 2005 (UTC))

There was a j-post article on this this past week. I'll try and work it in.Joe407 (talk) 12:24, 31 May 2009 (UTC) Jpost article Joe407 (talk) 20:06, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Since the wreck is located between Crete and Cyprus, this means it cira 400 miles from Alexandria, discrediting the Assyout theory. The article should be explicit about that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.86.117.208 (talk) 14:27, 6 September 2018 (UTC)


 * if a guess had to be made of what caused the ship's loss mine would be that it was run down by a ship while snorting and it was not reported or noticed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.8.126.91 (talk) 20:20, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Where's the source?
I quote this: "General Azab mentioned that the submarine may have crashed into the seabed due to the shallow depth of water in that region, about 36 meters, while it needed at least 40 meters to dive. It appears that the submarine commander took the risk." While the Arabic source "Al Sharq El Awsatt" newspaper doesn't include this information in the article, where's the source for this part? general Azab doesn't say anything about this in the interview!

 * Weird, I can't even access the page. Were you able to read it? Can you try to find a working link or an archive? See WP:DEADLINK Hydromania (talk) 17:34, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

That is the source Amr F.Nagy (talk) 18:22, 14 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Good catch! My reading of the Google translated page doesn't seem to back up the assertion of the article.
 * I'll have some time later to try and see if there was a different source for that. In the meantime feel free to remove it. Hydromania (talk) 19:48, 14 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you for response, I would also ask about the name of the boat, the English article refers to the meaning of Dakar as "Swordfish", while in Hebrew it means "grouper", which one is correct?.. plus I don't think the pronunciation of "Dakar" is right in Hebrew. Hydromania
