I agree with you. I also think that the RN has let itself down by sacking the offending ratings, but merely removing from post the commissioned officers. I would have thought that immediate discharge of all four officers involved would be appropriate.
I have always naively imagined that discipline and leadership in the RN generally but especially on the nuclear boats was above reproach, but seemingly not the case.
A really sad chain of events for the RN and UK in general.
