McEwen, commanding officer of the amphibious assault ship USS TRIPOLI (LPH-10), regarding damage to the vessel. The TRIPOLI, now in dry dock awaiting repairs, was damaged by an Iraqi mine that the ship struck while serving as a mine-clearing platform in the northern Persian Gulf on February 18 during Operation Desert Storm.
