The base was established in the 1950s to meet the growing needs of the Australian Fleet in the region. It developed into a center for submarine operations and technical support in the Indian Ocean.
The base is located on an island with limited public access due to its military importance. Visitors should check locally for any possible tour opportunities or special events that might be open to the public.
