PAI-LUNG STORAGE INSTALLATION
MAND BARRACKS AREA
I PAI-LUNG NAVAL FACILITY
Pai-lung is Communist China's closest port to North Vietnam which is
capable of performing transshipment functions and providing limited support
to naval units. Previously targeted as a port facility, Pai-lung has
definite signatures indicating it is a naval subordinated installation.
The Pai-lung complex contains 4 separate installations that are
interconnected by road and appear to be inter-related -- a naval facility,
a storage installation, a barracks complex, and a probable coastal
observation post.
The probable coastal observation post is located on a hilltop 0.4 nm
SE and is comprised of 4 buildings and a watch tower.

Chart 5496, 3d ed, Aug 64,
Although previously targeted as a port facility the layout and type
of facility are strongly indicative of a small naval facility. Transship-
ment of material through this installation would be relatively simple, as
adequate alongside berthing is available for coastal freighters or
ocean-going lighters. However, cargo handling would be complicated by the
narrow pier, lack of dockside cranes and storage, and restricted access to the
berthing area. This installation appears to be capable of berthing
combatants at least as large as.a DE (water depth permitting) and is probab-
ly the operating base for a detachment size unit with PGM's. Support
available would appear to be restricted to limited amounts of stores and a
small refueling capability.
Facilities include 1 lcng finger pier, 7_ offshore wharf under
construction, 2 revetted b-iildings, 1 administration-
type building, and 4 support buildings.

At the SW end of the Pai-lung Wei immediately north of the Pai-lung
Naval Facility.
This installation provides substantial storage capabilities through a
diversity of storage structures which are widely dispersed.
Facilities include 2 administration-type buildings, 22 storage
buildings, 3 buildings under construction, 4 revetted buildings, and 11
support buildings. 25X1D
The adjacent barracks area, which probably serves both the naval
base and the storage complex, is comprised of 14 barracks/support
buildings and 1 probable basketball court/exercise area.
