A Lag A 1 W , ,. .ff ' Q y a - N. A little bit of World War ll history Outside the main gate to Subic Bay Naval Station Subic Bay Naval Station was the first stop of many for the crew of the TEXAS. It was the first time anyone had been ashore since getting underway in late February. It was definitely a welcome port visit. Little did anyone real- ize that this would be the last battlegroup to visit the Philippines due to the eruption of Mount Pinatuba. The video tapes of Olongapo were devastating. The small town which had seemed so full of life was now totally destroyed. The remembrances of the Philippines are numerous. Who will ever forget the triumphant victory of the ward- room softball team over the chiefs mess. And for those who took a tour of the Island, wasn't that a fun bus ride. One of the trips took 8 hours on the bus one way to see Manila and a waterfall. And believe it or not, our softball team actually beat their womens team. Good public relations s Boy, were we really that far away from home?
