Subject: Subic Bay, Philippines

During the almost one hundred years that the U.S. Navy was at Subic Bay, thousands of sailors, Marines, soldiers, airmen and U.S. civilians were stationed there or passed through on port visits. In addition, there were countless Filipinos who either worked on the base or in other areas related to the base.

The Subic Bay Registry Project is an effort to permanently record the participants in this great adventure that was Subic Bay!

The project's website came on-line the first of this month

http://www.subic-history.org/

Over the next few months this site is expected to have several thousand members registered.

The great thing about this site is that it is built on a database which means that it is searchable. For example, you can type in a name and hit "search" and it will return any records with that name.

There are dozens of categories covering all the units at Subic Bay as well as other bases in the Philippines (i.e., Sangley Point, Clark, San Miguel, etc.) where you can post your picture and links to your own websites.

This is a great resource for preserving these memories and also finding old shipmates, friends, family members, and others, with an organized, searchable database. You can quickly zero in on your area of interest without going through dozens or hundreds of emails or listing.

If you want to find out how to get registered (it’s free, of course) and make an entry, just go to http://www.subic-history.org. If you have an interest in Subic Bay, please register and post an entry.

Thanks,
