While serving onboard USS HAWES (FFG-53) on deployment to the 5th Fleet AOR in 2000, responded to USS COLE bombing in Aden, Yemen, where 17 sailors were lost. HAWES spent 53 days in the harbor with COLE, helping to stop the ship from hitting the bottom and helping the crew in every way possible. May the world never see a tragedy like this again.
