Summary
Hong Kong (Oct. 07, 2006) Submarine tender USS Frank Cable (AS 40) tends deployed submarines USS Honolulu (SSN 718) and USS LaJolla (SSN 701) while anchored in Hong Kong Harbor. The tender's presence made it possible for the two submarines to make a port visit to the Asian metropolis as United States submarines cannot moor to the mainland. This is one of the last Western Pacific port visits Honolulu will make before returning to Bremerton, Wash., to begin decommissioning.
