Abstract
In October 2000, the USS Cole, an 8600 ton Arleigh Burke class destroyer was en route to join the Fifth Fleet for a deployment in the Persian Gulf. As one of the world’s most modern warships, it was equipped with a range of land-attack systems including Tomahawk cruise missiles. In the event of a further crisis with Iraq during its period of deployment, the Cole would have been one of the warships likely to fire its weapons.
