In Aug. 1945 there were about 60, 000 sailors here. This was maybe the Naval Station section. The bridge leads to the island of Tubabao, there was the Naval Receiving Station with several thousand Sailors coming or going to or from commands. In 1949 the White Russian Refugees from Red China were quartered here for several years. North of here was a huge PT Boat Base with hundreds of boats, after the war the engines were salvaged but the boats were burned. West of here was the Manicani Island which was used for a large ships repair base with 3 dry docks. Just east of here was the huge Guiuan Air Field, described and shown in picture #1. South of here was a huge Naval Supply Base with piers and meant Quonset buildings for storage. The town of Guiuan is maintaining a Naval Base Veterans Parks there today. Further up the coast, south Samar coast, were fuel and water points for the ships plus recreation beaches that could handle thousands of sailors in morning and afternoon shifts to consume grilled foods etc and rations of beer.
