Zc802. A comparable view of the former Chief Petty Officer (CPO) Club and the Enlisted Men (EM) Club in the U. S. Naval Station Subic Bay in 1981 from the U. S. National Achieves, as it looks now from Google Earth in 2018. The CPO club became the Golden Dragon Restaurant. The EM Club was used for Bingo a few years only and is practically abandoned, I had some beer and grilled cheese sandwiches here in 1962. That barracks became a casino and a Chinese restaurant. The CPO Barracks are on top of this picture. Photo is from Google Earth.

Zc795. 1920’s Olongapo AS-5 Sub Tender and 9 S-Boats. If you look close “air bedding” is the order of the day for the tender and a few boats. We did that also during my time, every so often, take your mattress and blankets and secure them over the railing or wherever and let them air out!
