We didn’t have drones in 88 like the Cole, in which all but iirc two of those involved were hit with missiles by drones. Calling it a liberty ship is a bit misleading, sure that’s it’s class but that particular one was a spy vessel and we have an active policy of not firing back from sigint ships, instead of they come under attack they burn break or blow up anything sensitive and then essentially surrender.
I don’t recall that as part of the USS Cole bombing. Or the USS Liberty strafings? Which attack are you referring to?
