"After the Stark, and some of the other attacks, I’d hope they made the adjustments."

Is the Stark where some patrol boats pulled up close and did major damage and loss of many sailors? Memory is slipping.

The Stark incident was a pair of Iranian Exocet missiles. I meant the USS Cole incident, where suicide bombers drove a dingy up to the ship and exploded it.
