Diego Garcia lies in the Chagos Archipelago at the southernmost tip of the Chagos-Laccadive Ridge Ð a vast submarine range in the Indian Ocean, topped by a long chain of coral reefs, atolls, and islands comprising Lakshadweep, Maldives, and the Chagos Archipelago. The United States Navy operates Naval Support Facility Diego Garcia, a large naval ship and submarine support base, military air base, communications and space-tracking facility, and an anchorage for pre-positioned military supplies for regional operations aboard Military Sealift Command ships in the lagoon.
