The Sihanoukville Port. The return of the USNS SAFEGUARD

Welcome Back USNS SAFEGUARD

Once you visit SihanoukVille, you're always welcomed come back!

That's right! The USNS SAFEGUARD has returned to SihanoukVille, Cambodia after a 6 month absence. The ship returned to Cambodia in July 2009 to continue educating the Cambodian Navy Divers on underwater salvage and repair techniques. And as usual, the crew of the SAFEGUARD learned a lot more from their time in SihanoukVille, Cambodia than they were expecting.
