Following autopsy and identification, the remains will be turned over to the families. Today the Navy also clarified some details about initial reports of the terrorist attack against USS Cole. According to ship records, the explosion occurred at about 11:18 a.m. local time in Yemen, not 12:15 p.m. as previously reported. USS Cole had completed mooring operations at 9:30 a.m. local time. Refueling operations commenced at approximately 10:30 a.m. local time and were ongoing at the time of the terrorist attack. [Local time in Yemen is seven hours later than Eastern Daylight Time.] Earlier statements were based on the initial voice and relayed reports from the ship that were not confirmed. As previously reported, the explosion caused the Cole to lose power and disabled all onboard communications assets. As is often the case, these initial relayed reports contained some errors, and in some cases may have been misunderstood. -END-
