More than the usual deep dive
History's sunken glory in Subic Bay: Originally developed as a naval
base by Spanish colonizers in 1885, Subic Bay became the largest US naval
facility in the Far East. In 1991, it was transformed into a Freeport
economic and tourism zone. Today Subic Bay hosts a formidable combination
of wrecks, like the 19th century Spanish gunboat San Quintin, Japanese
luxury liner Oryoku Maru, and the ex-USS New York. Complemented by a
rain forest and white sand beach, Subic Bay has an international airport
and tourism support facilities that include a marina, yacht club, hotels,
shopping arcades, and food shops.
