This picture shows the Oryoku Maru attacked by US air planes in Dec. 1944 in the Olongapo Port. This ship with about 1600 U.S. POWs on board was one of the most tragic Hell Ships and very few POWs survived their cruel and inhumane ordeal in Japanese hands!
This is one of the more important WWII images and is not only reposted at the original reply but I post it here again. It symbolizes the tragic WWII and the role Subic Bay and Olongapo played in the conflict.
