The "Sufa" was one of five battleships to be smuggled out of France during the 1969 French embargo on Israel following the six day war. It was in active service for over 20 years (1969-1988) and had an outstanding battle record. In may 1994 she was deployed on a sandy bottom bed, south of the Eilat port, to become a diving attraction for scuba divers and to take diving stress off the surrounding reef.
