(Apr. 19, 2002) -- The guided missile destroyer USS Cole (DDG 67) heads
out to sea to rejoin the U.S. Navy fleet, following 14 months of
repairs after a terrorist bomb blew a hole in the port side of the ship
while refueling in the port city of Aden, Yemen, on Oct. 12, 2000,
killing 17 sailors. Pascagoula area pleasure fishermen out in
their boats helped escort the Cole out to sea. U.S. Navy
