INS Dakar Memorial, Military memorial on Mount Herzl, Israel
The INS Dakar Memorial features a concrete structure shaped like a submarine with its lower section embedded in the ground at Mount Herzl.
The memorial commemorates 69 Israeli Navy personnel who perished when their submarine disappeared in the Mediterranean Sea during its 1968 voyage from Britain.
A verse from Psalm 77:19 inscribed on the front speaks of paths through mighty waters, connecting naval service with religious scripture.
The memorial stands within the Garden of Missing Soldiers, next to a wall listing names of missing military personnel from various operations.
The memorial contains a dedicated chamber displaying the names of all 69 submarine crew members who never returned from their mission.
