As Frank Cable passed the Indonesian Archipelago, Sailors gathered on the flight deck to honor the 53 Indonesian National Military-Naval Force sailors lost aboard the Indonesian Cakra-class diesel-electric attack submarine KRI Nanggala (402) that sunk April 21, 2021 off the coast of Bali. “Submariners are a special breed who depend on each other in perilous circumstances,” said Cmdr. Patricia Coley, command Chaplain aboard Frank Cable, during the ceremony. “They have trust in each other that is greater than most. Many will never understand their call to duty, the call of the deep and the call to a brotherhood that is stronger than most family bonds.”
Frank Cable is currently on patrol conducting expeditionary maintenance and logistics in the 7th Fleet area of operations in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific. For more information about Frank Cable visit our Facebook page www.facebook.com/FrankCableAS40.
