CAPT. G.B. McEwen, right, commanding officer of the amphibious assault ship USS TRIPOLI (LPH-10), and an assistant examine the damage caused to the ship's hull by an Iraqi mine. The TRIPOLI struck the mine on February 18 while serving as a mine-clearing platform in the northern Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Storm. The ship was able to continue operations after damage control crews stopped the flooding caused by the explosion
