The guided missile destroyer Cole came home today.

The crew of more than 275 sailors returned to Norfolk Naval Station after a six-month deployment providing support to a strike group off the coast of Lebanon.

The strike group included ships from England, France and Spain. It was the first time a U.S. warship participated in another country’s battle group.

The strike group was led by the British aircraft carrier Illustrious, according to the Navy.

There it is! Guess I'm not blind after all.
But that photo is not as good as the one I got when she was finally pierside.

You may be blind
