I still can not find out anything about our base in Deigo Garcia (just off the tip of India).
oops, spelling correction = Diego Garcia

Thank you
If Deigo Garcia is in deep water, then the tidal wave would be low and wide, hardly noticable.

I have been wondering the same thing since I read about the tsumanis. I believe Diego Garcia would be somewhat South of the Maldives(they were hit)....just below the equator.
I spent some time there in 1974 while in the USN. Then the highest point above sea level was proably less than 20 feet. It is just a U shaped coral atol. If a tidal wave hit it, it would deluge the entire atoll.
looking at that map above your post, Diego Garcia would be in the farthest out or penultimate ring, by Maldives which has recied lots of coverage. DG at its highest point is only 22' but likely concrete, but the silence about its status is disconcerting.
