Cubi Point-Subic Bay Phillipines

"At Cubi Point, Seabees cut a mountain in half to make way for a nearly two-mile long runway. They blasted coral to fill a section of Subic Bay, filled swampland, moved trees as much as a hundred and fifty feet tall and six to eight feet in diameter, and even relocated a native village, The result was an air station and an adjacent pier that was capable of docking the Navy's largest carriers."<br />
