After the British withdrawal, Haimo led a team to survey Diego Garcia island, gaining a preliminary understanding of the area.
"This island is generally elongated and narrow, the narrowest parts being just a few hundred meters wide, so building a military base here will require some thoughtful planning."
"Judging by the island's layout, we can ascertain that the location where the British constructed their port is indeed the prime spot on the island."
"Although small in scale, it's a fine wind shelter with usable land scattered around."
Diego Garcia island, though covering more than twenty square kilometers, is actually an atoll with land emerging above water that resembles a ribbon, making it particularly elongated. In the past, the U.S. military utilized this unique terrain to build an airfield for their airbase.
In the days following, Haimo and his team made preliminary modifications to the island, primarily removing traces left by the British military base.
