An officer from the guided missile frigate USS STARK (FFG 31) holds his daughter upon the STARK's return 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. Thirty-seven crewmen were killed in the explosion and fires
