You get to join Corwin, Thetis, Unalga and others!
Possibly Bear Bay, but with a name like that it's hard to know.
And, there's an Eastwind Harbor in Greenland, Jeannette Island, Cape Manning, Panay Island in the Philippines. However, maybe the ship is named after the island instead of vice versa.
Also Rodgers Harbor, Rush Point, Storis Passage.

Yes, three vessels of the United States Navy have been named USS Panay, after the Visayan island Panay in the Philippines.
