Shipdle Warships 10 Jul 2026

Puzzle #1 was USS Cole.

USS Cole (DDG-67) is an Arleigh Burke-class Aegis guided missile destroyer home-ported in Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia. Cole is named in honor of Marine Sergeant Darrell S. Cole, a machine-gunner killed in action on Iwo Jima on 19 February 1945, during World War II. Cole is one of 62 authorized Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers, and one of 21 members of the Flight I-class that used the 5 in(127 mm)/54 caliber gun mounts found on the earliest of the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.

What the record says

The numbers: Commissioned - 1990; Length - 153.9 m. 1 of the 6 columns is blank in the source (Fate), so nobody could score it either way.
