Summary

Description
English: Aerial view of the U.S. Navy Naval Station Subic Bay, Philippines, circa in 1990, with Naval Air Station Cubi Point visible on the left.
Note: The photo is dated, incorrectly, as "1 January 1990". The aircraft carrier USS Ranger (CV 61) is docked at NAS Cubi Point. Ranger was deployed to the Western Pacific from 24 February to 24 August 1989 and to the Western Pacific and the Indian Ocean during the 1991 Gulf War from 8 December 1990 to 8 June 1991.
This photo was most probably taken in January of 1991, during the build-up to Operations DESERT SHIELD & DESERT STORM, but before the 12 June 1991 eruption of Mt. Pinatubo. In addition to the USS Ranger, moored at Leyte Pier, a Tarawa-class LHA is visible in the image, tied up in the maintenance area of the Subic Bay Naval Shipyard. The only Tarawa-class ship in the WestPac at the time was the Tarawa. The other west coast LHAs were both in port undergoing overhaul/maintenance in California (Belleau Wood (LHA 3) in San Diego and Peleliu (LHA 5) in Long Beach. Also visible at Alava Pier, above the Tarawa, is an Iwo Jima-class LPH, and at least seven other amphibious ships (LPD, LSD, LST). This is consistent with two full Amphibious Readiness Groups (ARGs) deployed for Operation DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM.
