Ralph Frank (born 1946) is the former American ambassador toNepal[1] (1997–2001) andCroatia (2003–2006).[2]
Frank received a BA in 1968 and an MBA in 1973 from theUniversity of Washington.[1]
A cable written by Frank in November 2003 revealed the American interest in obtaining theS-300 surface-to-air missile system fromCroatia. The Croatian government acquired the system in 1995, before theOperation Storm, but it was incomplete and was never operative. According to other sources, including the court testimony of arms dealerZvonko Zubak, the system was indeed shipped to the U.S. in 2004.[3] (SeeContents of the United States diplomatic cables leak (Europe))
