אנדרטה לזכר חללי המשחתת אילת, Naval memorial in Haifa, Israel

The Memorial to the Fallen of the Destroyer Eilat is a painted-metal and marble sculpture by Yigal Tumarkin, set between Haganah Boulevard and Allenby Street in Haifa. Its front bears the Hebrew motto "Never has a people who ruled the sea been defeated" and the inscription "Memorial to the fighters of the destroyer INS Eilat 21.10.1967". The names of the 47 crew members, with their roles and burial places, are listed on both sides, and 47 cypress trees stand in the memorial garden.

The memorial commemorates the 47 crew members of the Israeli Navy destroyer INS Eilat, sunk by Egyptian Styx missiles in international waters near Port Said on 21 October 1967. Sculptor Yigal Tumarkin designed the monument for the Navy; it was placed on Haifa port's main breakwater in 1994. Because visitors could not reach it there for ceremonies, the Haifa municipality gave a site between Haganah Boulevard and Allenby Street, and the renovated memorial was inaugurated there on 21 October 2009 by Navy commander Eli Marom.

The front of the memorial bears the Hebrew motto "Never has a nation that ruled the sea been defeated" and the dedication "Memorial to the fighters of the destroyer INS Eilat 21.10.1967". On both sides, the names of the 47 crew members are listed with their roles and burial places. In the memorial garden, 47 cypress trees were planted, one for each of the fallen.

The memorial stands on the plot between Hahagana Avenue and Allenby Street, away from the port breakwater where it first stood in 1994. It is reached on foot from the surrounding streets; the 47 cypress trees of the memorial garden mark the site. The annual remembrance ceremony is held on 21 October.

The memorial was first placed in 1994 on Haifa port's main breakwater, where ships entering and leaving passed it but no ceremonies could be held beside it. Haifa municipality then gave land between Haganah Boulevard and Allenby Street, and the renewed monument was inaugurated there on 21 October 2009 by Navy commander Eli Marom.
