I went to Diego Garcia for about six months in 1981.
I was working on a tanker that was chartered to the Navy.
The island was British; anyone engaged in criminal activity was sent to Hong Kong for trial.
In the morning, the British national anthem was played before ours.

Okay, thanks. It was nice of them to let our Indian Ocean fleet stay there!

Wow, that’s really interesting. I wouldn’t have guessed they’d have to be sent to Hong Kong.
