This ship took the place of the first Royal T. Frank sunk in Hawaiian waters on Jan. 28, 1942 by a Japanese submarine. There is a war memorial in Kealakekua honoring the five young men from the Kona District killed in that attack, a tall white marble cross on a lava and mortar base in the Central Kona Union Church cemetery. Seventeen Hawaii Island soldiers died in that attack, but the names of the five from Kona are remembered still, thanks to this Memorial.

My grandfather was given a handmade replica of this ship when he worked for Atlantic Richfield during the war. The Frank was stationed at Ft. Myles DE and would come up the Delaware to re-fuel. His notes claim her service number to be 172. Can anyone verify that?
