Default British submarine crew gets randy and sick at the same time

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-new...caine-22841970

At least 35 'HMS Sex and Cocaine' crew members 'catch coronavirus after partying'

It is claimed that 35 sailors on nuclear submarine HMS Vigilant contracted the virus after crew members partied in strip clubs and bars in Covid-19 hotspots Georgia and Florida
Wait it gets worse, "Among those who have the virus are a doctor and an executive officer"

Quote:
A quarter of the crew on a Royal Navy nuclear submarine previously branded "HMS Sex and Cocaine" have contracted coronavirus after members disobeyed orders and partying, it is claimed.

According to reports, 35 sailors tested positive for Covid-19 after going to bars and strip clubs in Georgia and Florida, which have some of the highest rates in the country.

This was despite crew on the HMS Vigilant being told not to leave their quarters at the Kings Bay US Navy base, it is claimed.

That did not stop some making a 400-mile round trip to Cocoa Beach in Florida, it is claimed.

Among those who have the virus are a doctor and an executive officer who has top-secret nuclear codes, it is claimed - although it is not clear how they caught coronavirus.

Resultant and remedial action will no doubt ensue.

Clicked on this thread thinking it was about some terrible new secret weapon or maybe a really odd reaction to some contaminated mess rations but instead it's just about sailors being sailors.



I'll bet that the real source of the covid outbreak is one of the officers. They don't have a gang of Chief Petty Officers watching over their every move.
