Subic Bay Naval Base

Subic Bay Naval Base, located in the Philippines, was once a major United States naval facility. It served as a strategic military port for the U.S. Pacific Fleet, providing logistics, repair, and support for naval operations in Asia-Pacific. In 1992, the base was closed and transitioned to civilian use, becoming a freeport zone with commercial and industrial activities. Today, it hosts businesses, tourism, and some military functions, symbolizing a significant chapter of U.S.-Philippines military cooperation while also supporting economic development in the region.
