I assumed there is a good reason why most B-2 missions originate from the continental US...
Yes - Diego Garcia has 4 of the B2SS deployable, clamshell, environmentally controlled shelters like the single one that used to be at RAF Fairford before it was removed after being damaged in strong winds..
RAF Fairford has a 2 x B-2A bay hangar that is environmentally controlled.
