And now the Defence Secretary who delivered a roasting to the Royal navy on the events on HMS Vigilant has just resigned over allegations of sexual misconduct.

You really cannot make this stuff up.

Over 60 admirals, hundreds of Navy officers under scrutiny for scandal involving alcohol, prostitutes

Quote:

Over 60 admirals and hundreds of Navy officers are now being investigated for contacts with Singapore tycoon and Malaysian defense contractor Leonard Glenn Francis, known as "Fat Leonard," the Washington Post reported Monday.

Francis paid off Navy officers with lavish dinners at some of the best restaurants in Asia, and he hosted after-dinner parties with booze and prostitutes -- affairs that sometimes lasted for days -- all in order to extract information to help give his company an advantage. Francis, who is based in Singapore, supplied Navy ships in international ports.
