>>>Cole was tied up at the dock...<<

I believe she was at anchor in the harbor awaiting a fuel barge. Otherwise you are correct.

I have read the small boat approached at a slow rate of speed, like many waterborne merchants selling trinkets or snacks might. They waved at Navy sailors on deck. In the last 50 or 75 yards they sped up and rammed the hull at high speed.
