When you're writng MTB's, do you mean "Missile Torpado Boats"?
Why do you think Pagoda means Missile Torpado Boats?

Pull down from the NSA site the "summary.pdf" file. At the end of page one and
start of page two is:

start
THROUGHOUT THIS INTERCEPT, THE USS LIBERTY IS REFERRED TO AS
THE "BIG ONE" WHILE THE THREE ISRAELI MOTOR TORPEDO BOATS ARE RE-FERRED TO AS
THE "SMALL ONES". THE HELICOPTERS USED CALLSIGNS
810 AND 815. THE AIR CONTROLLER AT HATSOR AIR BASE USED CALL-WORD "TRIBUNE".
THE MTBS USED CALLWORDS "THORN," "PAGODA" AND
"CRISIS." THE CALLWORD "JEWEL" IS NOT IDENTIFIED, BUT MAY BE HAIFA.
