Northrop Grumman Ship Systems (NGSS) Pascagoula, MS. (Apr. 19, 2002) --
The U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer USS Cole (DDG 67) gets underway
after completing extensive repairs to the ship's hull and interior
spaces. Visible as she pulls away from the pier is her newly
restored portside hull and superstructure. The Cole has been in
Pascagoula for the past 14 months undergoing repairs after a terrorist
bomb blew a hole in her port side while refueling in the port city of
Aden, Yemen, killing 17 sailors. Cole will return to her
homeport
of Norfolk, Virginia. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate
