In secluded Caunayan Bay, this memorial commemorates the mission of American submarine USS Stingray, which delivered weapons to Ilocano guerrillas, thus playing a decisive role in the Japanese defeat in WWII. The memorial itself is just a cement block with an anchor on top but the surrounding scenery of palms, secluded white beach and rice fields makes it worth the trip.
