Naval base.
(NAVCOMSTAPHIL), also, Naval Station San Miguel was a facility of the United States Navy located in San Antonio, Zambales, The Philippines. During the Vietnam War, all communications from Vietnam to the United States Mainland was routed first through here by an undersea cable from Nha Trang, and was then forwarded to Naval Link Station Mount Santa Rita, also in the Zambales mountain, then to Clark Air Base and finally to the HF transmitter site at the Naval Communication Transmitting Facility, Capas in Tarlac.

Besides being a Navy facility, the base also housed a Marine barracks. The United States turned over the base to the Philippine government in 1992. After its turnover, the Philippine Navy (PN), subsequently transferred its Naval Training Command from Fort San Felipe, Cavite to Naval Station San Miguel. It is now the home of the Philippine Navy's Naval Education and Training Command.
