I am sorry if this has been posted elsewhere or is not deemed to be of interest.
I thought WEBF might like it.

Lt Cmdr Ramsey said he would be left in tears by Capt Tarrant's outbursts and would regularly vomit before going on shift.
Does the RN issue hankies to submarine crew
Nice to know our nuclear deterrent is in the hands of fine, strong officers. Perhaps the horses-neck had been overdone the night before.

Re: RN Sub Commander in Dressing Gown Tirades
Do people REALLY wear dressing gowns on board submarines?
Isn't that a bit...casual?
What about when he's climbing up the stairs?

he should have vomited into the pocket of his Captain's dressing gown

...or cast him adrift in a boat in the middle of the Pacific.
I bet they would have done if the submarine had been named after a piece of chocolate confectionary. After all, tradition is very important to the Navy.

None of us were there so we just don't know. Why did it take so long? The navy, especially the underwater branch stick together very closely and there's a very strong sense of loyalty towards the skipper. I guess he must of pushed people to breaking point. Thankfully this was an SSN not an SSBN or they would have been heard in Moscow. Also according to reports this problem did not manifest itself ashore therefore not visible to senior mgt. I suspect his submarine days are over for good and he will fall off the Captains list sooner rather than later.

It seems that the Captain may actually have several part-time roles in addition to issuing rollockings to his staff..

Moral of the story:
1. He has a beard - never trust men with beards - trust women even less.
2. He's fat.
3. He's a filthy tube slug.
4. And they promoted him!.
Now I know where I went wrong - F*ck!!!!!

Re: RN Sub Commander in Dressing Gown Tirades
Having served on a Court Martial board and then read the press reports of the proceedings afterwards, I would caution against making judgements if the media is your only source of reference. Every drop of sensationalism, intrigue and scandal had been wrung from some pretty mundane proceedings that merited none of it.
Of course the press could be spot on and the coverage 100% unbiased and accurate. But I doubt it.

Yelling abuse at a Chief Petty Officer Coxswain? He deserves a medal for bravery...

He probably failed RN Pilot selection, and has been taking it out on everybody since

Re: RN Sub Commander in Dressing Gown Tirades
Yeah, I can see how passing probably the most demanding career course in any armed service and subsequent command of a nuclear powered, multi role submarine who can keep entire fleets in port by suggesting it might be within hundreds of miles while landing SF, collecting SIGINT and shadowing ships VERY closely might make someone wish they'd been a bag pilot....
