The Lincoln looks like a setting duck over there, other than radar and the
Cans what do they have going for them to prevent another USS Cole? Or is
that all they need?

"Sitting Duck"? Hardly.

A lot has changed in recent years. The days of an "An E-3 with a nightstick
and broken flashlight 'guarding' that row of 32 million dollar aircraft" are
LONG gone. Even in port each carrier is VERY well guarded and knows EXACTLY
what threats are in the area.
