Zc764. It looks like, that in 1945; some Naval Officers took the Red Cross Lady on a sightseeing trip in Subic Bay. This is on the Mt. Redondo side of Subic Bay; the boat is lying off near the Submarine Base. We are looking south and right of the Lady’s head is Grande Island. This picture came from the Betty H.

Zc770. This is NAVSTA Olongapo & Olongapo Town 1928 from NARA via Wiki Vividley. Before WWII the town or village of Olongapo, under the administration of the U.S. Navy, was located at, what after WWII became the Naval Station (NAVSTA) Subic Bay. After WWII what was left of Olongapo was moved further inland and across a drainage canal. Then in the 1950s, with the addition of the Naval Air Station Cubi Point and the Naval Magazine area, the Naval Base Subic Bay was established. The former Naval Base is now the Subic Bay Freeport Zone (SBFZ) as of 1992.

Carter Women Veterans Historical Project.
