Later, Dr. Dakher was a submarine in the service of the Israeli Navy, which was marked by the IDF’s Tomb, January 25, 1968, on her way from Britain to Israel and all 69 of her crew perished. The remains of the submarine and its location were discovered only in 1999. The submarine originally served as the Indian Royal Totem in the British Navy. In 1965, Israel acquired the submarine, and it received the number of navy 77, which was distributed in the Portsmouth Shipping, an Israeli crew trained by the British Navy, and went to Israel on 9 January 1968.

The last location reported from the submarine on January 24, 1968 at 6:00 a.m. from the south to the east end of Crete, and the latter was received 18 hours later. Despite extensive searches conducted after it by ships, submarines and aircraft, the submarine was not found on the surface of the water and it was declared a reserve. The information and assessments of the reasons for loss were not published, and the authorization was established as a national mystery and trauma.

About a year after its fingerprint, one of the submarine’s emergency kits was discovered on the Khan Yunes coast in the Gaza Strip. Miscavated conclusions from the analysis of the floating findings and where they were found led to searches for it in the shores of Egypt and the Aegean Sea, and to accusations of a bubble by enemy armies, especially the Egyptian army, but these did not raise anything.

In the final of the Cold War, Admiral Jeremy Burda put the search and detection capabilities developed by the U.S. Navy to find the submarine, but these measures did not help detect the submarine. In the U.S. Navy recommendation, a U.S. Navy connection was made between the Navy and the U.S. Anauticus Company specializing in detecting and researching deep water, the searches in which the path was lost.
On May 28, 1999, more than 31 years after her disappearance, the remains of the "Card" were found on the seabed at a depth of three kilometers, on the planned route to Haifa, 485 miles away from the submarine's destination. On the site of finding the remains of the submarine, a comprehensive study was carried out in October 2000, the site was carefully documented and its findings were analyzed, the bridge of command, each of the crew members, the exploiting house, and other submarine parts were accompanied by research and commemoration.

background
In the name of the fish, Dr. Dakar was originally a submarine of the T-Class submarine. This series was built 55 submarines, and all names began in the Ts, as is the case in the British Royal Navy. The submarine was built for the British Royal Navy and was launched on September 28, 1943 as the HMS Totem. The submarine entered service in early 1945. At the end of World War II, most of the submarines were settled from the series. Those who remained in service, including “Totm,” were designated for surveillance and fighting missions in Soviet submarines. For this reason, the submarine has undergone extensive renovations in the 1950s in the Chetum Shipping. The renovations included extension of the pressure body, removal of aboard cannon, removing external torpedo tubes, adding ulcers, installing two new diesel engines, and a new design of the submarine bridge.

In 1964, a deal was signed between Israel and Britain, in which two T- sample submarines were acquired, the Turpin and the Tatom. Later, she joined a third submarine deal, the Truncheon. Tarpin and Tatum were distributed in the British Navy's dock in Portsmouth, and different oil for the Lovath and brother stabbed, respectively. The third submarine was distributed in Israel and renamed dolphin.

The command of the 'Brothers Doc' was handed over to the radar, a graduate of the debtor d. A freshman was an estimated officer who had previously served as deputy champion Joseph Dror, while he was the first submarine commander, brother Janine. A refresh was also distinguished by the unique procedures that regulate submarine operations and submarine crew life; these procedures require closer discipline than the other Navy ships.
