Subic Bay Airfield

The restoration of the Subic Bay Airfield (U.S. Naval Base Subic Bay) as a new "forward operating base" will host the maritime patrol assets for maritime and territorial disputes in the South China Sea, in line with the Philippines' and United States Comprehensive Archipelagic Defense Concept (CADC). Situated along the former Naval Air Station Cubi Point at Naval Base Subic Bay edge, the project is aimed to enhance the surveillance and deployment capacities serving both countries.[2]
