I was on the Ben Stoddert (DDG-22)... the Stark was one of the ships that relieved us. I've got photos from when we did the turn-over. If memory serves, USS Coontz was in the same task force.

A shipmate of mine from bootcamp (Kelly Quick) was killed in that attack. RIP Kelly. :-(

I'm so glad my ship escaped this , Its in Egypt armed and ready ( USS Gallery FFG 26 ) ,,, those gutless admirals left proud ships with no weapons , they're sinking spruance class ships ,, its crazy , at least they could have put a 5 inch gun off the DD's their sinking on the FFG's

I saw something very similar happen onboard DDG-10 back in 1982. Launched missile to port, damned thing curly-cued and looped over us, and hit water on starboard side prob 700 yards away. Wow.

I was on the USS Stark (FFG-31) when it was attacked. FFG's were built for the coast guard. This video was typical.
