I was there 50 years ago (Februrary 1971) as part of a small SeaBee group going to start construction on Diego Garcia. We were there for about 2 weeks waiting for our ship to come in (no, really!). There had been some unrest between the Okanawans and the Americans so we were restricted to the base. Spent some time in the EM club playing the nickel slot machine and drinking Japanese long neck beers!
