USS COLE PATCH

APRIL 2002
(18 months after the ship was nearly sunk in a deadly terrorist attack)

Sailors man the rails as the USS Cole pulls out of Northrop Grumman's Ingalls Shipyard in Pascagoula, Miss., Friday, April 19, 2002, heading for its home port in Norfolk, Va. The guided missile destroyer returned to duty Friday after 14 months of repairs from an explosion that tore a hole in the ship's side, killing 17 sailors in a terrorist attack on Oct. 12, 2000, in Yemen.
