"The Rhodesian T-55 Tanks"
134.67.6.14 ( talk) 19:09, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
The person who claims that the T-55 tanks the Rhodesians acquired were being transported on a French freighter cites a source that never mentions the word France or French, indeed the source cited clearly states that the T-55s were being transported on a LIBYAN freighter. Furthermore it makes absolutely no sense that the French would have Warsaw Pact tanks in their possession, let alone eight such tanks, and that they would be attempting to ship them to Mozambique. Furthermore the inaccurate and uncited statement that the tanks were headed for Uganda should be removed, as they were headed for Mozambique. The ship captain mistook Durban for Maputo and that is how the ship was seized by the South African authorities.
