 USS Cole returned to Naval Station Norfolk January 26th after a nine-month deployment. The commanding officer praised his crew's accomplishments. Probably the most significant accomplishment, and we had many, both professionally, in doing and meeting the mission and also our sailors' personal accomplishments, but probably the most significant is the fact that we were able to, for nine months, meet every mission that was presented to us and that we were ready to go. Our operational and material maintenance was outstanding throughout the deployment, and that's due to our sailors' hard work and their ownership of their equipment and their operations.
