Dear Frank Cable families,

Greetings and best wishes from my family to yours. Since I last wrote to you in early February of this year, Frank Cable has been very busy. We were underway for 50 days between February and April. During that period, we visited Sasebo, Japan; Busan, South Korea; Yokosuka, Japan; and Saipan. Sasebo and Yokosuka were working ports, where we spent considerable time in port working on surface ships. In Sasebo, we worked on home ported minesweepers and big deck amphibious ships. In Yokosuka, we worked on several home-ported destroyers. The local ship repair facilities in these ports lack sufficient throughput to handle all of the necessary work to keep these ships mission ready. Frank Cable came to the rescue and accomplished

an unbelievable amount of work in a relatively short period of time, proving that this submarine tender can do more than just fix submarines. Both Busan and Saipan were liberty ports, where your Sailors enjoyed some well earned rest and relaxation. Many of you joined us for a family cruise on 10 April during our transit from Saipan back to Guam. It was an honor to have you all onboard.

Since our return to port in April, in addition to submarine maintenance (our mainstay), we have been focused on (and distracted by) the following: - Preparing for USS Emory S. Land’s (ESL) change of homeport to Guam. As you may know, ESL is our sister ship and the only other submarine tender in the Navy. She is currently homeported in Diego Garcia, but will be homeported in Guam later in 2015 or early 2016. Once both tenders are homeported in Guam, we will begin a “tender rotational model” that has one tender deployed from Guam for a period of five to six months, while the other tender is in port Guam or underway in waters near Guam. There are many moving parts to make this model work, and we have been diligently working through the details. - Typhoon Dolphin Avoidance. In May, Frank Cable conducted a sortie to avoid Typhoon Dolphin. We sailed about 750 nautical miles to the south to keep our ship safe and out of the storm. We also left behind a significant stay behind crew to help secure our facilities ashore and to take care of any families in need. Thankfully, there were no injuries or significant damage to Frank

Hello Frank Cable shipmates and family,

As I end my tour on the mighty Frank Cable, it saddens me to think I will no longer be the XO of this great ship and crew. I am so proud to have served with you and experience the many successes you all have worked so hard to accomplish. The greatest memories of this tour are seeing so many Sailors make rate, get awards, and fix submarines and you all are the ones that accomplished that with great professionalism, pride and ownership.

I have turned over to a very seasoned professional, and couldn’t have picked a better officer to relieve me. Cmdr. Ed Callahan comes from a very distinguished career in submarine maintenance and more importantly, truly cares about Sailors and their families. He will do very well as your next XO. I know you will give him the same respect as you gave me.

I would like to congratulate our six new senior chief petty officers and 86 Sailors making the next higher paygrade. Another outstanding advancement cycle that proves to me how dedicated you all are.

As I leave this ship, hopefully in a better condition than when I arrived, I ask that you remember two things that have helped me through my career:

1. This is a team sport, we can only make it if everyone is on board. 2. Be positive. Don’t allow other peoples attitude and emotions to change your attitude; if you do, you have allowed someone else to control you.

Thank you again for all the hard work you do to keep us mission ready. I look forward to serving with you again in the future. You have made this one of my best and most memorable tours.

Hooyah Frank Cable!

Very Respectfully,

XO

FROM THE BRIDGEWITH THE EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Cable’s families or their belongings. I attribute this success to advanced preparations, clear communications, and good decision making.

Looking ahead to the next 10-12 months, Frank Cable will be in port Guam for most of that period. Upon our return from the last underway, we rolled right into periodic nuclear testing on USS Key West (SSN 722), which took about two weeks. This month, we had an important external inspection that determines how well we conduct nuclear business – training, evolutions, maintenance, level of knowledge, casualty control, and material condition was all be evaluated by an external audit team in which we did very well. This week, we will conduct a change of command ceremony. In September, we may have a short underway period to support a torpedo exercise, but the remainder of the fall will be full of good old-fashioned submarine maintenance in port Guam. We also plan to be in port for the holidays. This will be my last quarterly newsletter to you as your Commanding Officer. Capt. Drew St. John arrived on island for a two-week turnover as my relief. I hope to see you all at my change of command. It has been an honor to lead such a fantastic crew of professional men and women who are supported daily by our families, our friends, our awesome Ombudsman team, and our amazing Family Readiness Group such that we can all do our jobs in defense of this great country. I thank you for that support.

Very Respectfully, CAPT Mark BenjaminCommanding OfficerUSS FRANK CABLE (AS 40)

Space-A Information:Military Space-Available Travel (Space-A) is a privilege that service members and their families have available to them at no cost. The way Space-A travel works is passengers are able to fill empty seats on U.S. Air Force, air transport flights. The number of seats available varies on each flight and is based on how many active duty passengers and cargo are on the flight. All passengers wishing to travel are placed into one of six categories based on certain criteria and purpose of their travel. Family members may sign up for travel up to 60 days in advance and active duty members can sign up the day their leave starts. Passengers are selected for flights based on their category and the date they signed up. Please be advised that when using Space-A travel you need to have patience because you will not always be placed on the flight you want. Everyone considering Space-A must be prepared to purchase meals, lodging, and in some cases return plane tickets (if you need to be home by a certain date and no flights are available). Most Space-A terminals update their schedules to show flights for the next 72 hours.

FROM THE DECKPLATESFrank Cable shipmates and families,

Since our last newsletter, we’ve been extremely busy with our primary mission, deploying to fix surface ships in both Sasebo and Yokosuka, Japan, and conducted a SORTIE to avoid a typhoon. We’ve received the results and advanced several Sailors to the next paygrades. Congratulations again to all of you that advanced on the last exam cycle. For those shipmates that just did not advance, remember to ensure that you are putting in the time to study and become the best you can at your rate. Volunteering and collateral duties are good and help the command, but your in rate knowledge is the one thing that will help you the most on your test. I look forward to the next exam cycle and what I know will surely be great results again. We are also aggressively working the two tender concept plan with regards to maintenance alignment, responsibilities of our buildings and off-hull

equipment along with the personnel transfer piece. Of all areas that we are looking at, the personnel transfer piece is the most important and something that we surely cannot do wrong. It took a lot of time to create a comprehensive list of Sailors who are eligible to “cross-deck” to our sister ship, USS Emory S. Land (ESL). Before any Sailor was assigned, we wanted to ensure that we completely understood everything that Sailor is concerned about and addressed it appropriately. We also ensured our Sailors did not lose any pay or entitlements once shifted to ESL. I know this unknown can cause a lot of anxiety and emotions, please bear with your chain of command as we work through this. I think the SPORTSFEST was a huge success and something I intend on continuing to support every other month. Lets see who will be the next SPORTSFEST champions. We are also planning a series of crew camaraderie events. This will transpire on opposite months as SPORTSFEST. The idea is to take another complete afternoon off (you are either at the event or on the ship working). All our associations and groups (CPOA, FCPOA, SCPOA, JEA, CSADD, MWR and the WARDROOM) are planning, coordinating and executing events as leads such as exclusive showing of a movie at the base theater, a bowling outing, boonie stomp, scuba diving outing, mountain bike ride, road bike ride, go-carts, kayaking outing, golf outing, etc… These outings will be on an afternoon, maintenance and production will be planned to allow maximum participation by the crew. There will be a total of six events for the crew to select from with a description of the event and sign-up sheets posted outside the CMC’s office. We are looking to encourage participation to increase the morale along with the camaraderie of the crew. I look forward to seeing you all out there. For more information on assisting with either SPORTSFEST or the camaraderie events, see one of your association reps for more information.

As we continue into the summer, we welcome new shipmates and say farewell to our transferring shipmates. We wish you the very best at your next command or journey, where ever it may take you in life. A lot of you will be looking at taking leave over the summer months to spend time with family and friends. Lets just remember to be safe where ever our travels take us. Enjoy the rest of the summer Shipmates!

JINHAE, Republic of Korea (March 16, 2015) Sailors assigned to the submarine tender USS Frank Cable (AS 40) visited the Jinhae naval base for a tour of the Republic of Korea’s submarine Choi Moo Sun (SS 063) in Jinhae, March 16. Members of the Republic of Korea Navy explained the history of the Chang Bogo class submarines and the capabilities of Choi Moo Sun. Lt. Cmdr. Paul Gitzen, operations officer aboard Frank Cable, said that it is important for U.S. Sailors to learn how the Republic of Korea’s navy operates. By visiting with them, Frank Cable Sailors are showing their interest and support of South Korean operations.In 1953, a mutual defense treaty between the United States and the Republic of Korea was signed, officially declaring a partnership that still exists today. According to GlobalSecurity.org, in the event of hostility, all friendly naval forces in the theater would fall under Commander, U.S. 7th Fleet’s control to defend the Korean peninsula. Electrician’s Mate 1st Class Roger Jensen, a Frank Cable Sailor, described the importance of maintaining a good relationship with the Republic of Korea’s Navy. “If something happens to go down in this

region of the world where we need their assistance or they need our assistance, it’s good to be on the same page tactically and technologically,” said Jensen. While on the tour, Frank Cable Sailors learned that the Republic of Korea naval submarines are very similar to those of the U.S. Navy. After the submarine tour, the Sailors toured a Republic of Korea submarine museum and learned about the history of submarines and the Republic of Korea’s relationship with various countries.

Frank Cable Sailors Visit Hospitalized ChildrenBy Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Allen Michael McNair,USS Frank Cable Public Affairs

Machinist’s Mate Fireman Recruit Edward Pryne and Machinery Repairman Fireman Tayla Smith, Sailors aboard the submarine tender USS Frank Cable (AS 40), share stories with a family in the pediatrics ward at Guam Memorial Hospital, April 21.

TAMUNING, Guam (April 21, 2015) Sailors aboard the submarine tender USS Frank Cable (AS 40) spent time visiting with children and their families at Guam Memorial Hospital, April 21. The Sailors visited the hospital to spend time with the sick children who have spent days and even weeks as patients, and to support the parents of those children.

“We wanted to come and really interact with the kids,” said Religious Programs Specialist 1st Class Lonnie McDade. “They are stuck in here all day and can’t go outside, we want to bring the outside to them. We want to be a shining light for them and give them a way to forget that they are in a hospital.” The children at the hospital range from newborn to 16 years old. The Sailors visited various rooms and brought smiles to the children’s’ faces as they talked and shared stories with them. “They need some type of entertainment,” said Ruth Sabangan, unit supervisor of pediatrics at the hospital. “They look at us and see pain. It’s nice to have somebody new that will bring them joy.”

Sabangan said that many people like to visit the pediatrics area during the holiday season. McDade emphasized that the goal of Frank Cable Sailors is to become a supporter for them year-round. “We’re here to show them that the Navy cares,” said McDade. “We’re here to make a difference. Our job is not only to protect the community but to create a community partnership.” Frank Cable Sailors are planning a return trip to the hospital and hope to include more Sailors so that they can continue to show support to families in Guam.

MSC Commander Visits Frank Cable, to Present Food Service AwardBy Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Jason Amadi

USS Frank Cable Public Affairs

POLARIS POINT (May 12, 2014) – Rear Adm. T.K. Shannon,

commander, Military Sealift Command (MSC), visited the

submarine tender USS Frank Cable (AS 40) to meet with Sailors

and civil service mariners (CIVMARs) and present the ship with

the Capt. David M. Cook Food Service Excellence Award, May

12.

The award is given out to ships that demonstrate quality menu planning, preparation, and receive positive

customer feedback.

“This award was six years in the making,” said Dave Terrell, CIVMAR supply officer on Frank Cable. “We

achieved it through the layered accomplishments of several chief stewards and several officers-in-charge. This was

not achieved overnight. We took constructive criticism and we ran with it.”

Frank Cable was nominated for the award in the past, but was not selected. Winning this time around was a

result of a refocusing of prior efforts.

“I felt proud winning this award, because this is the first time for Frank Cable,” said Irineo Lazarte, chief

steward on Frank Cable. “We were nominated last year and we went up to the finals, but we just didn’t win. It was

the same effort from the supply officers all the way down, as

well as the repair division of the military.”

Lazarte credits hard work and multiple improvements

over the last year as determining factors for being selected.

“Since last year, we started doing more painting, deep

cleaning, we even requested the help of some assistant store

keepers to do some of the work we weren’t able to,” added

Lazarte. “With the help of the supply utilities that we have,

we were able to win this award. So it was a team effort from

everyone involved.”

Frank Cable Holds Tour for JapanHouse of Councillors MembersBy Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Zac Shea, USS Frank Cable Public Affairs

SASEBO, Japan (March 2, 2015) – Seventeen members of the Japanese House of Councillors (JHC), equivalent to the U.S.

Senate, toured the submarine tender USS Frank Cable (AS 40) in Sasebo, March 2.

The delegation included the Honorable Satsuki Katayama, chairwoman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense

Committee.

The tour was designed to expand JHC members’ knowledge about the role and function of naval facilities and assets

in Sasebo, which will help them when discussing issues related to the Japan-U.S. alliance with the committee.

Katayama thanked Frank Cable for the tour invitation and said the event was an opportunity to deepen the existing

relationship between our two nations.

The Commanding Officer of Frank Cable, Capt. Mark Benjamin, greeted the group as they came aboard and provided

them with a ship’s mission brief and tour of the ship to include its medical and navigation spaces and repair facilities including

the machine, pipe fabrication, sheet metal, and carpentry shops.

“The delegation was impressed with the versatility of the ship and the wide range of repair functions performed

onboard,” said Benjamin. “Additionally, by demonstrating Frank Cable’s significant war fighting support capabilities directly

to the Japanese legislature, we showcase our readiness to conduct sustained combat operations throughout the theater, and we

reaffirm our commitment to our strategic alliance with each other.”
