I noticed new plaques have been placed at the Hell Ships Memorial in Subic Bay and decided to document all of them. I believe the new plaques got initiated in connection with the 80th anniversary of the sinking of the Oryoku Maru on the 14th Dec. 1944 in Subic Bay. That 80th anniversary was organized by the Retiree Affairs Office (RAO) Subic Bay, the SBFZ and many other personalities. You may find more information in the www about these persons, events and units honored here!
