Naval Station of Olongapo totally wrecked, recovering
These two very interesting images of the former Naval Station of Olongapo in 1945, during WWII, were sent to me by a well known Historian of the Philippines, Professor RICARDO T. JOSE. The pictures, the first one shot on the 3rd Feb.1945 is amazing clear, it shows the heart of the former Navy Yard and it really got destroyed. The next picture was shot on the 11th April 1945, the time between the two pictures is only about 68 days and the Seabees have been busy. A new pier has been built, perhaps some of the destroyed building were able to be salvaged and have new roofs now, It looks like some of the roads are asphalted but a lot material is sitting around in the open.
