An aerial view of the buildings and sites near the water.Zc811. This is a view of the U. S. Naval Base Subic Bay in 1981 from the U. S. National Achieves. This is the area near and around the Naval Base Kalaklan Gate, the way north into the Zambales Provence. Much of the area was used by the Public Works Center (PWC) and the Seabees. I know the Naval Investigating Service (NIS) had a large building here. The Naval Station Armory in a bunker was here. The Transient Personnel Unit (TPU) was here and also handled all the Filipinos joining the Navy. In the 80s the Officer in Charge (OIC) told me that he had 64 personnel on legal hold who were waiting for an outcome of their legal cases. Much has changed, look at the next image!
