You are correct. Looking at that hole it would be a pain even with everything powered and functioning. To save her in the dark under those situations in a hostile port is incredible.

The crew of USS Cole may not have fired a shot, but they truly disappointed the terrorists watching from shore who were oh so sure that their placement of the explosive would lead to a US ship sunk in their harbor.
