On the officers it states "that one was subsequently promoted, reaching the rank of captain, and served in the Royal Navy for a further 20 years."

the original report was redacted quite heavily apparently

Tuc - I think the point is the latest report is the real thing - the earlier versions were changed - and reading it I can understand why.

I believe a hard copy of the report is now available in the National Archives in Kew but haven't checked to see if there is a full e-copy available yet

According to another newspaper "The National Archives said the document was only available to view in person at kew"

There's an article in Conrad Waters Naval Review 2017 pg 181 which has a reference to the location of the pdf of the earlier report but when you type it in the Archives says not
found...... Pity they won't put it up so we can all read it TBH
