These are time-lapse photos of the recovery of 
the USS Cole.  In the first photo, a transport 
ship is "flooded" to allow it underneath the 
disabled USS Cole.

 Cole was transported from Aden to Pascagoula 
by the Norwegian heavy transport ship, 
M/V Blue Marlin.

 As the photos progress, the USS Cole is secured 
to the deck of the transport ship.  Then the 
transport is slowly raised to the surface of the 
water to get underway.
