SUBIC BAY, PHILIPPINES HEWITT visited this port numerous times during our 89-90 WESTPAC. Our first stop in Subic was for urgent repairs. This prevented a scheduled port call to Hong Kong. However, some of us were flown off to the Enterprise so we could meet our wives in Hong Kong as planned. After a week in Subic, we put back to sea for battle group operations. Two days later we were back for a short upkeep period. At the time we did not know just how short. Tropical storms have a way of forming quickly and November is the month for tropi- cal storms in the Philippine Islands. So, as luck would have it, the battle group was forced to take to the high seas for protection from the storm. The storm passed over the island of Luzon without causing serious damage and we pulled back in after only two days. HEWITT departed Subic Bay, for what we thought would be the last time on this cruise, on November 28. Within hours of get- ting underway we were directed to proceed south to Manila Bay for Contingency Opera- tions. The coup attempt against the govern- ment of President Aquino required a United States presence in the area to ensure the safety of American citizens and military personnel in the now volatile Republic. The political crisis was reduced when loyal government forces re- gained control of the capital and of other rebel strongholds. It was at this time that HEWITT and other U.S. forces were released and or- dered to precede on duties assigned. For HEW- ITT that meant returning to Subic once again. We entered Subic Bay on December 8, and on December 9 we departed after our assignment in the Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf we re- turned to Subic Bay, but this time it was our choice as we had an opportunity to ask Admi- ral Bull, Commander Seventh Fleet, for a port visit there instead of the scheduled visit to Sin- gapore.
