I Served on the USS Constellation CV64 on WestPac 1980 and visited Diego Garcia (DG) for a week. I was flown from CV64 to Sacramento AOE-1 then CGN35 Truxtun which was off the coast of DG. 1980 DG was a UK Communications Island with nothing but bare essentials, kind of like Wake Island before WW2. After a week on the Island in temporary huts that were built, we set sail back to CV64.
