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.

naah, they just need pink subs and blue subs /s
Makes me take all the claims of "National Security" with a pound of salt these days...
Cocaine, Sodomy and the Lash.
The bigger problem with having women on board is not that there will be sex on board, but that only SOME men will get laid, while most will not. This will create sexual frustration that will be much worse than if there were no women aboard.
This Sub was worse than an old episode of Peyton Place!
Who’s ‘zooming’ whom?
>>One man is said to have had sex with a prostitute in a swimming pool.
I can’t imagine that a navy guy would do this on his time off. Shocking!
Not.
No doubt this is the first time a soldier/sailor has gotten some while off duty,...ever.
“The Love Boat soon will be making another run.
The Love Boat promises cocaine for everyone.”
You win the thread!
I cant imagine that a navy guy would do this on his time off. Shocking!
Not.
How did they fit the sub into the swimming pool?
or the swimming pool into the sub?

Tommy
I went into a public-'ouse to get a pint o' beer,
The publican 'e up an' sez, "We serve no red-coats here."
The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I:
O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, go away";
But it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins", when the band begins to play,
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins", when the band begins to play.
I went into a theatre as sober as could be,
They gave a drunk civilian room, but 'adn't none for me;
They sent me to the gallery or round the music-'alls,
But when it comes to fightin', Lord! they'll shove me in the stalls!
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, wait outside";
But it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide,
The troopship's on the tide, my boys, the troopship's on the tide,
O it's "Special train for Atkins" when the trooper's on the tide.
Right - plus some guys will want to be protective of a woman, some will take no time in coming on to a new woman in the crew, another quiet guy really likes the girl and silently fumes, and the efficiency and competency of the unit is destroyed. The crew no longer a crew.
I saw it in industry when we were forced to bring women into all male work force. Crew efficiency worsened, rapport among the work force disappeared, plant production fell off, etc. It just doesn’t work.
You have made some really good points.
