a large US military base in the Philippines. Inlet of the South China Sea, southwestern Luzon, Philippines.

The area suffered heavy damage in World War II and was occupied by the Japanese in 1942-44. The base played a prominent supply and maintenance role in the Vietnam War (1955-75). Control of the bay was transferred to the Philippines in 1992, and it subsequently was redeveloped as a free-trade zone and recreational and tourist destination
