Mare Island Naval Shipyard has been identified for closure pursuant to the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-510). Current schedules call for mission cessation at Mare Island in April, 1995 and operational closure a year later, in April, 1996. The Mare Island Naval Shipyard has been in operation since 1852. Initially the base was used to dock the Navy's Pacific Squadron. During World War II, Mare Island grew into one of the world's largest ship construction and repair facilities, employing up to 41,053 persons at its peak. In the 1 950s, the Navy Department designated the Shipyard as a building and overhaul yard for submarines. It remained in this capacity until it was designated for closure in 1993.

Filipinos came to Vallejo as early as 1912, and some families here can count five generations back to their roots in the Philippines. Many came to Mare Island Naval Shipyard, where Filipinos found steady, well-paying jobs that spared them from menial work and stoop labor in the fields of California. With each major conflict of the 20th century, and finally with the relaxation of immigration quotas in 1965, waves of Filipino newcomers arrived on these shores. They advanced in their work at the shipyards, settled down, and started families, buying homes and establishing successful businesses. Now this active, politically empowered Filipino community numbers in the tens of thousands, yet traditional histories ignore its contribution to Vallejos heritage.
