Remembering our fallen shipmates from the USS Cole attack.

On Oct. 12, 2000, 17 Sailors lost their lives when terrorists attacked USS Cole (DDG 67) while the ship refueled in Aden, Yemen.

Twenty-six years later, USS Constitution and her crew honor those Sailors, their families and the crew members whose courage carried Cole through the attack and its aftermath.

Constitution’s crew galley bears the name of former crew member Mess Management Specialist 3rd Class Ronchester Santiago, who lost his life while serving aboard USS Cole during the attack.

We will never forget.
