Lingayen Gulf is a part of the South China Sea in the Philippines. The gulf played a significant role in World War II. Another gulf, the Gulf of Mexico, played a significant role in my early childhood, because every February I'd visit my grandparents in Sarasota, Florida. The sun would set over the ocean, which confused me for a while.
According to Wikipedia, the big industries on the Lingayen Gulf are fishing and salt.
1944 in the Lingayen Gulf was much more intense than 1983 in Sarasota.
