The French Ministry of the Armed Forces announced the death of Reserve Frigate Captain Yves Bousquet, who passed away from a cardiac event at Istanbul airport during transit to the ASPIDES operation headquarters. Bousquet, who began his career in 1980 as an electronics technician, joined the operational reserve in 2019 after 39 years of active duty. He was a Knight of the Legion of Honor and of the National Order of Merit. The officer had accumulated almost 4,000 hours of diving, more than 800 days at sea, and participated in numerous operations. His death has caused deep sorrow within the French Navy, which shares the pain of his family and colleagues.
