The sun had barely crested the horizon when Michael Reyes and his team approached the gates of the Hanjin Subic Shipyard.
The sight was depressing, to say the least, with dilapidated buildings and rusting equipment scattered across the landscape. The once-thriving shipyard that had churned out massive vessels and contributed robustly to the local economy was now a shadow of its former self. Weeds sprouted through cracks in the asphalt, and the air carried the salty tang of the sea, mixed with the faint scent of rust.
Michael's expression was resolute as he surveyed the scene. "It's going to be a lot of work," he admitted, "but I see immense potential here." He gestured to the expansive dry docks and the towering cranes standing idle against the morning sky. "This place can be transformed into a state-of-the-art facility. I can already imagine the most advanced warships of the world being constructed right here."
