About 0900 fired continuously on enemy plane flying low and heading astern. At some time during this period, it was reported to the Duty Officer that an enemy plane had been shot down and dove into the channel somewhere out off Pier #3. During the next hour this ship fired intermittently at enemy planes which flew overhead sporadically. In this area the planes were flying very low appeared to have no objective, and were readily identified by large red balls on each wing. At 0800, machine gun, automatic rifles and rifles were manned and commenced firing on enemy aircraft. This ship sounded general quarters, and passed word on the attack.

The boat was originally planned to be named Dakar, after a vessel that mysteriously sank in 1968 with all of its crew on board. The revised sail could also be related to some kind of proof-of-concept for technology to be used in the upcoming Dakar class". According to analysis conducted by Matus Smutny, the sail "could also contain a special release compartment for unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), aerial drones, and/or other special operations and intelligence-gathering equipment. With the re-launch, photographs confirm a much larger sail which may accommodate its vertical launch missile silos, if these are indeed fit to the vessel. The boat was reported to have been taken out of the water but re-launched again in August 2023. TKMS went on to describe the Dakar as “a completely new design, which is to be specifically engineered to fulfill the operational requirements of the Israeli Navy.” Illustrations released by ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS), the prime contractor, show an enlarged sail and distinctly changed hullform. Although unconfirmed by either the German or Israeli government, rumor has it that the Drakon will be longer than previous boats of its class and may have new weapon capabilities, including a vertical launch system (VLS). The submarine was built in Kiel, Germany, and was reported to be on sea trials in early 2022. INS Drakon, or Dragon, is an Israeli Dolphin 2-class submarine.
