Family and friends gathered yesterday to say goodbye to more than 350 officers and sailors aboard the Pearl Harbor-based guided-missile destroyer USS O'Kane as the ship left for a six-month deployment.

Petty Officer 1st Class Lee Rysdam hugs his daughter Sophie, 4, as he prepares to board the O'Kane.

Jacquay Hood, with her 2-year-old daughter, Deja, waves goodbye to her husband, sailor Tommy Hood, as the destroyer eases away from the dock.
