UBICBAY-OLONGAPO PHILIPPINE ISLANDS Manila Bay is on the western coast line of Luzon, the largest of the seven thousand plus islands of the Philippines. North across the bay, from-Manila on the southern shore, is Subic Bay the site of the U.S. Naval Base of the same name. The bay, the base and the town of Olongapo, outside the base, are sur- rounded by tall hills. As the ship enters the bay, ones attention is drawn from from the hillsides to Grande Island in the middle of the bay, a fine rest and recreations spot utilized extensively by 7th Fleet sailors and personnel stationed on the base. The large land area of the base contains repair facilities, supply depot, numerous recreations buildings and athletic fields and is bounded on the North West tip by ,Cubi Point Naval Air Station. All types of U.S. Navy fighting vessels andtauxiliary ships utilize this port and most of the piers and buoys are usually in use. If a sailor is not inclined to use any of the fine clubs onthe base dur- ing one of his off-duty periods, it is possible to pass through the main gate into the town of Olongapo. The opportunity for relaxation or excitement in this Philippine town runs from cock-fights on Sunday afternoon to browsing for hand crafted curios or a stop in one of the numerous bars or restaurants for a cold San Miguel Beer. Special services on the base offers, among other things, facilities for recreation as follows: swimming pools, yachting and deep sea fishing boats, skeet range, library, billiards, pool and card room, motion picture theatres, bowling alleys, gymnasium, and a teen club.
