A petty officer from the guided missile frigate USS STARK (FFG 31) holds his daughter while he is interviewed by members of the media upon the STARK's returns to its home port. The STARK has just completed sea trials that followed a stay at the Ingalls Shipbuilding facility in Pascagoula, Mississippi, for repairs to the extensive damage caused by two Iraqi-launched Exocet anti-ship missiles that struck the ship while it was on patrol in the Persian Gulf in May 1987, killing 37 crewmen
