Two tug boats gently push the USS Cole (DDG 67) to its mooring at Pier
4 of the Ingalls Shipyard in Pascagoula, Miss., on Dec. 24,
2000.
The Arleigh Burke class destroyer was the target of a terrorist attack
in the port of Aden, Yemen, on Oct. 12, 2000, during a scheduled
refueling. The attack killed 17 crew members and injured 39
others. The Cole was transported from Aden to Pascagoula by
the
Norwegian heavy transport ship M/V Blue Marlin. A 60 foot by
60
foot patch was welded to the hull of the destroyer before it was off
loaded from the Blue Marlin. DoD photo by Chief Petty Officer
