uss cole (ddg-67)

On 12 October 2000, while under the command of Commander Kirk Lippold, the Cole was attacked from a small boat by Al-Qaida suicide bombers, while she was harbored in the Yemeni port of Aden. Seventeen sailors were killed and 39 were injured. The U.S. government offered a reward of up to US$5 million for information leading to the arrest or conviction of those persons who committed or aided in the attack on Cole.


Cole was returned to the United States aboard the Norwegian semi-submersible heavy-lift MV Blue Marlin owned by Offshore Heavy Transport of Oslo, Norway. The ship was off-loaded 13 December 2000, from Blue Marlin in a pre-dredged deep-water facility at the Pascagoula, Mississippi, shipyard of Northrop Grumman Ship Systems, Ingalls Operations. After 14 months of repair, Cole departed on 19 April 2002, and returned to her homeport of Norfolk, Virginia. Cole left Norfolk on 29 November 2003 on the destroyer's first overseas deployment since it was bombed in the year 2000.

In 1990 while stationed at Walter Reed Army Medical Center I had the opportunity to tour one of the Navy hospital ships, either the Comfort or Mercy, Can't remember which, at Baltimore. I asked the LTCR nurse giving the tour about plans to repel opforces in exactly this kind of scenario. She just blew me off with an answer about what was I referring to terrorist in a speedboat with AK's and RPG's? Well, heres the answer when you don't think 2 steps ahead of the other guy.

They say there a Religion of peace, yet they kill themselves and hundreds - thousands of people just to have 70 virgins LOL

@lilmoalam yeah im pretty sure buddhism (notice the 2 Ds) doesn't generally support someone talking about ass fucking . Its not the westerner's fault for blaming islam or muslims for the attacks, because we keep being attack by MUSLIMS. If we were being attacked by the shinto japanese then we would be blaming them, but we arent being attacked by them. were being attacked by muslim terrorists who claim to be acting on allahs will. So for us in the US it seems right to blame islam

[thegoodknigh]

@Jessybear2 i dont care what anyone says, obama IS muslim

[FantasticBob7000]

@madisonelectronic Hmm... that's pretty harsh, I don't remember Palestinians doing anything bad, they're just pissed about the Jews taking their land. Don't remember the last time Pals stole billions of dollars from the US or spied on the US or attacked a US war ship. In case you're wondering I'm talking about the USS Liberty. And Pals didn't attack the Cole. So why don't you hate on the people really screwing our country over.

[TheUncleDougger]

@olbigdik Nah...there are 72 Yasser Arafat look-alikes

[bigdre8776]

[St984]
