NAVAL SUPPLY DEPOT GUAM
U.S. Navy
The Naval Supply Depot Guam was established during World War II following the liberation of Guam by U.S. forces in 1944. The depot quickly became a critical logistics and supply hub in the Pacific Theater, supporting naval operations during the final campaigns against Japan. It managed the receipt, storage, and distribution of vast quantities of food, fuel, munitions, and other supplies essential for fleet and shore activities. After the war, the depot continued to play a vital role in supporting U.S. military operations in the Western Pacific, adapting to changing strategic requirements during the Korean and Vietnam Wars.

Subic Bay, PI
U.S. Navy
**Subic Bay, PI (Philippine Islands)** has a distinguished military history as a strategic naval base. Established by Spain in the late 19th century, Subic Bay was later developed by the United States after the Spanish-American War, becoming a major U.S. naval facility in the Pacific. During World War II, it was occupied by Japanese forces and subsequently recaptured by Allied troops in 1945. Throughout the Cold War, Subic Bay Naval Base served as a crucial logistics and repair hub for U.S. and allied naval operations until its closure in 1992, following the expiration of the U.S.-Philippines bases agreement. Today, the site is managed by the Philippine government and occasionally hosts joint military exercises.

As one of only two Trident Refit Facilities in the United States, TRFB plays a crucial role in supporting the Navy’s strategic deterrent mission by ensuring the operational readiness, modernization, and repair of these submarines.
