USS Cole (DDG-67) is one of the most storied ships in the modern U.S. Navy. Commissioned on April 8, 1996, this Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer endured one of the most devastating attacks in naval history when al-Qaeda terrorists detonated explosives alongside her hull in Aden, Yemen on October 12, 2000 — killing 17 American sailors and wounding 39. Cole's crew refused to let their ship sink. They fought to save her, and the Navy brought her home. Repaired and returned to service, USS Cole stands as an enduring symbol of American resilience. This framed photo is a proud tribute to the ship and to every sailor who served aboard her.
