1. This memorandum is in response to the above referenced requirement
requesting a detailed photo analysis, using comparative photographic coverage,
of the Yu-lin Port Facilities, China.
25X1D 2. Yu-tin is located on the southern end of Hainan Island at 18? 15'N -
109? 331E. The port facilities have undergone very little expansion during
the interval between Photo 7M1ission
25X1D One warehouse, approximately 150 by 30 feet, an one pier,
extending approximately 8o feet into the harbor, have been constructed during
this time period. The only other expansion noted was two areas of activity
which are in such early stages of construction,that no identification can be
made.
25X1D m The port facilities, as observed on Photo Mission-consisted
of three POL storage tanks, two piers, four Wharfs, five marine railways, and
numerous warehouses, barracks, and open storage areas. The vessels noted in
the harbor at that time consisted of two "swatow" class PF vessels, one coastal
freighter, three motor launches, three unidentified naval vessels, and numerous
25X1D junks and barges. The important vessels that were observed in the harbor on
Photo Mission consisted of two motor launches, one "swatow" class PF
vessel, and one un1 entified naval vessel. The vessel and port facility
measurements are given on the annotation key to the graphics (see Enclosureso'
CIA/PID/IB-P-515/64 and P-516/64). All measurements are approximate.
3. I-ae west of Yu-lin in the Lang-yeh Bay A 18? 13'N - 109? 41'E,
a new "T" head pier is underconstruction. This pier extends approximately
640 feet into the bay and will have approximately 455 feet of berthing space
across the head of the. "T" when completed. This area -,.rill possibly be a new
naval base, as the buildings in the area are the type used to store naval
supplies. Three of these buildings are still under construction. Refer to
Enclosure CIA/PID/IB-P-517/64 for a further analysis.
