Pictures of USS Cole being transported back

[Sabre170]

I was emailed this link. It has some great photos of the USS Cole being transported back for repairs after it was bombed. I hadn't seen these before and thought I would share them. I guess the SWO thread would be the best place for it.

I remember these pics back when it happened. When I was PCS'ing out to San Diego for the RAG, she had just come back to Pascagoula. You could see her mast from the freeway. Kind of sobering, but of course, who knew what was coming just three or four months later.

I saw her reduction gearbox at the GE plant up in MA. Wow, that thing took a massive blow.

Prominently displayed ..... "PLEASE DO NOT LINK TO THESE PHOTOS!!!"

I believe the page owner was asking people to not insert these pictures on their own webpage and have them load off his web server.

I think they're referring to hotlinking the photos.

EDIT: I'm too slow.

You guys are too smart for me ....

Remind me what the response to this was? Airstrikes on Afghanistan? Covert ops in support of the Northern Alliance? Demands from Clinton for increased military and intelligence spending??

No, but Clinton was sure to launch 10,000 (that's ten thousand) sorties over Iraq that year, right?

Remind your idiot liberal friends of that fact next time they whine about what a "distraction" Iraq is from Afghanistan and how smart they are for realizing that.

I'd be happy to provide further figures

I think he's accusing el former presidente of neglecting justice for the Cole while needlessly plastering Iraq in Operation Desert Fox . . .

Yeah, I figured that......I was wondering what brought about the diatribe on a dead thread.......

 

[nittany03]

Okay, good question . . .

I was stationed on the Cole after she was fixed up, I was proud to work with the people that served during this tremendous event. It is weird actually being on it now, just plain eerie.
