I did some fact checking and you are correct. I can't find any reference to any British use of the base. The Island has a small detachment of Royal Navy and Royal Marines for administrative purposes but nothing else. I would be surprised though if Royal Navy ships did not make a port of call there. I know we used Portsmouth in England when I was on a DE/FF. They ran the base, we just stopped to R&R for a few days and to get ships stores.

I'd expect such a relationship, too.

Goodness, called "correct" on such a thread. Gwarsh. I'd better sit down. Oh, I am sitting down.

Wellll, be careful calling me correct. You must have a reputation you need to protect! LOL.
