1945 - 1919 Subic Bay Naval Base

good old Po' city!

 

My friend in Tennesse was on this ship in those days.
USS WITCHITA (AOR-1) Deployments & History
He went back there years later and married a Pinoy girl and brought her back to Tennessee. I introduced them. They're doing fine. She's so much younger than him, but they both love it.

 

When you and I were there, the main street wasn't paved. Still, it was like being in heaven.
