The skipper of a Royal Navy ‘bomber boat’ submarine that carries nuclear missiles has been given the boot. Top brass saw an X-rated video he made while on duty, according to reports.

The Sun reported that he was in command of a Vanguard-class nuclear submarine, armed with Trident Two missiles, when he shared the graphic vid with a junior sailor on the sub. It is not clear which of the four Vanguard subs – HMS Vanguard, Vengeance, Victorious and Vigilant – he skippered.

Colleagues alleged that the pair had an illicit physical relationship when the bomber boat was at sea, but a Royal Navy source reportedly told the aforementioned title that sex on board did not form part of the investigation.

      yes, there is a lesser known kind that is quite safe even for old, frail people. it’s what the saying “we’ve searched every nuke and granny” refers to.

    Fired for stupidity.

    There’s fuvking while on duty, and there’s filming the evidence.

    Funny thing is theres going to be a room full of stiff upper lip admirals who have to watch the evidence without high-fiving the accused.

    “Because all four subs start with a V, we are easily confused.”

      Of course the Navy, who appointed the captain, know which boat it was, but the newspaper does not.

    in doubt, they’d better send the cleaning crew to all of them.
