British Submarine Captain Relieved for Drug and Sex Parties as Sea
The Love Boat has nothing on this British submariners:
Nine British servicemen have been thrown off a nuclear submarine at the centre of a sex probe, after testing positive for cocaine while on duty.
In one of the worst scandals to hit the Navy, the crew from HMS Vigilant – which carries the Trident nuclear deterrent – were sent home and kicked out of the service after the class A drug was found in their blood.
They are alleged to have had drug-fuelled parties while the submarine was docked in the US to pick up nuclear warheads. One man is said to have had sex with a prostitute in a swimming pool.
It can also be revealed that the submarine’s second-in-command, Lieutenant Commander Michael Seal, 36, has been removed amid claims of an extra-marital affair with a female engineering officer – Lieutenant Hannah Litchfield, 27. She too has been taken off the vessel.
The submarine was already embroiled in controversy over an alleged affair between its captain, Commander Stuart Armstrong, 41, and Sub-Lieutenant Rebecca Edwards, 25. Again, both have been removed from duty on board. [Daily Mail]

“One man is said to have had sex with a prostitute in a swimming pool.’
I must agree with wise British naval leadership here. This is scandalous beyond reason. My pearls are officially clutched.
After being trapped underwater in a sealed tube for however many months, why does this ignorant shame to her majesty’s underwater service have to sleep with a prostitute in a swimming pool.
That is uncomfortable for both parties and inhibits the high standards of performance which makes the Royal Navy proud.
While his dedication to remaining underwater even when off-duty is admirable, his poor judgement needs harsh punishment to discourage recidivism.
But it’s nothing more sodomy and the lash won’t fix.
Going down. Is this proper submarine talk?
Strikes me as odd that people are surprised by this sort of thing. When Christian beliefs (and morals) are ignored by even the Royal Family, how can one expect the Senior Service to behave? I mean, there were already jokes about submariners coming back as couples even before the service was coed.
