Now in SH3, they have a band playing and wellwishers waving as you depart in a U-Boat. I've often thought in SH4 that the pier in Manilla should be crowed shoulder to shoulder with ladies of the evening as a fleet boat departs!

I spent a lot of time at Subic in 1970. Sure there were girls in Olongapo, but I don't recall seeing anything like that on the docks, or on base.

But I'm old, and the memory is faulty.
