NORFOLK, Va. — Sailors stationed onboard the destroyer Cole will get an extra weekend at home before heading out on deployment.
The Cole was originally scheduled to deploy Friday for a seven-month deployment to the Mediterranean and Persian Gulf areas of operations. But officials delayed the deployment until Monday, because of heavy winter weather that is expected to hit the Hampton Roads area Friday and Saturday, according to Chief Mass Communications Specialist (SW/AW) Scott Boyle, spokesman for Naval Surface Force Atlantic.
The ship, commanded by Cmdr. Edward Devinney, will conduct maritime security operations while deployed.
