I know the base you are talking about. It was a Dutch submarine base. I can't recall the name either.
I would guess these type vessels would be early war as the Japanese invasion was already pretty well done by the time we were able to become involved very much.
I have yet to see a troop transport as well. Just a lot of pass. ships used as such.
The place I would check would be Lingayen Gulf when they invaded Luzon.
