Thanks Geoff, I didn't know we had three ships up there, I wonder how many ships, ( boats to the army,) and different nationalities are sailing the waters up there nowadays. Back in its heyday, Manila harbor used to anchor in excess of 100 ships on any given day. Plenty of fun back in them days. :cheersty:

They've been sailing with a Philippine Frigate (not sure which one but one of the new ones).

Have they locked up the boss man in a sound-proof box, while the armed forces meet with old friends again ? :89:

I was 19 years of age when I first visited Subic Bay, (Alongapo tourist facility) never in my wildest dreams was I ready for what I was about to experience, there was ships of the U.S. seventh fleet on rotation from what was happening in Vietnam, and of course Australian warships on rotation as well. We were having drinks in bars in the strip, then in the American clubs on the base. 
Then back out to sea for more exercises with the United States Navy, even with the big Mo, then into Hong Kong for Christmas, down in Wanchai, Kowloon where there was more tourist facilities.

The destroyer I was on was in the area for six months before returning to Australia, where luckily my liver was still functioning, and back to a normality.

Wow what a ride.

As the old mariner said; "Don't look for me on the shrimp boat, I will be coming home with the crabs." :7500:
