ZC870

Zc870.Subic Bay views, looking north toward Pequena Island and the Subic Town at right. What we Sailors called Subic City would be a little more right.

ZC874

Zc874. LSM-292 on beach north of Macmany Point, Subic Bay. In this picture we have a clear view of Mt. Cinco Picos.I am sure this is the next valley, south of the Agusuhin Valley, were the USMC Green Beach training area was and where now the Korean Shipyard Hanjin is located.

ZC873

Zc873. LSMs 147, 154, 88 69 in a nest and bow of LSM 439 – all aground in Triboa Bay. I suspect that the most of the ships of the Mothball Fleet Subic Bay were anchored here, in a nest, in Triboa Bay.
