"Historically, HK, located at the crossroads of SE Asia with a deep natural harbor, may be thought as a strategic place for the British to keep its military forces as part of a world-wide network to protect the British Empire. HK, therefore, was considered as an important Asian outpost (next to Singapore) for the maintenance of British sea-power. HK could easily be used, and was in fact used, as a repair and/or refueling port for the Royal Navy and as a rest and recreation stop for the fighting US troops in Vietnam. In addition, British troops garrisoned in HK could conceivably be and were readily sent to South Korea, Sabah and Sarawak, Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore and even China as needed."
