Subic Bay, R.P. For eight months, BARBEY. a transient member of the Seventh Fleet, came to know Subic Bay as its point of logistics support as well as our most visited port. Subic Bay could best be categorized as the place where there ' s always something to do. The Navy has gone to great lengths to maintain facilities to keep sailors occupied while far from home port. Of these facilities, the Navy Exchange held the most interest for the crew. With the passage of each payday, the postal clerks ' hours became longer forwarding homeward-bound packages, and the voids began filling with baggage as BARBEY crewmembers began acquiring thousands of dollars worth of stereo equipment, furniture, and gifts of all descrip- tions. Augmenting the base ' s facilities are the many night clubs, shops, and restaurants immediately adjacent to the naval station in the town of Olongapo. With one hun- dred and three night clubs with live entertainment on the main street alone, the crew experienced musical talent which is unequaled in WestPac. Music from soul to bluegrass to hard rock was available in many locations within short walking distance of the ship. Frequent upkeep periods in Subic Bay made possible the opportunity for several ship ' s picnics at the beach areas in and around the naval station, including a joint picnic with the crew of HMAS PARAMATA. Many crewmembers took advantage of available weekends to take bus or air tours to the cosmopolitan city of Manila and to the summer capital of the Philippines, Baguio City. There they experienced first hand the diversified culture of these friendly and carefree people. To the crew of the USS BARBEY, Subic Bay had become a refuge from the long hours and demanding schedule of the Seventh Fleet.
