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 struck her in the port of Aden, Yemen on October 12, 2000 — killing 17 American sailors and wounding 39. Cole's crew refused to let their ship sink, and the Navy brought her home. Start every morning with her ship's crest on your mug — a daily reminder that the Cole name stands for resilience.
