The U.S. will upgrade a Philippine military base crucial for Manila’s South China Sea operations, including resupply missions to contested maritime features such as Second Thomas Shoal, by constructing a boat repair and maintenance facility. 

Naval Detachment Oyster Bay, home to Philippine Navy patrol ships, gunboats, Marine fibreglass boats and resupply assets operating in the South China Sea, is slated to receive between $1 and $5 million in funding from Washington by June or July of this year to develop repair infrastructure to support “host nation vessels.”
