Visiting West Australia
The U.S. Navy submarine tender USS Frank Cable (AS-40) tends deployed submarines USS Honolulu (SSN-718) and USS La Jolla (SSN-701) while anchored in Hong Kong Harbor, 7 October 2010. 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 was one of the last Western Pacific port visits Honolulu made before returning to Bremerton, Washington (USA), for decommissioning.
