History:
USS Cole (DDG-67) was commissioned by the United States Navy in 1996 as an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer. The vessel was named in honor of Marine Sergeant Darrell S. Cole, a Medal of Honor recipient recognized for his bravery during World War II.
The ship became widely known after surviving a terrorist attack in Yemen in 2000, which caused significant damage and loss of life among the crew. Following extensive repairs, USS Cole returned to active service and continues to operate as an important part of the U.S. Navy's surface combat fleet.
