Sometimes You Just Wonder Who Is Running The Circus!
American Media of late has not shown much ability to report factual news thus One must be careful in assuming what is in print is remotely accurate.
I suppose Fleet Street is not much different in the UK from its American Cousins in that regard.
This Article certainly begs a few questions.
A Matelot "intentionally shoots himself with a Rifle aboard a Nuclear Sub" and is temporarily removed from the Arms Access List?
Really....such harsh punishment?
After all....there might be a need for an All Hands effort to protect the Sub and any Nuclear Weapons aboard at some point.

Slightly different....
A few years ago, an AWACS was on an operational mission when one of the crew went down with "tummy troubles" shall we politely say. He was put in the bunks to rest, and on the transit back to the Middle Eastern base, the flight deck radioed ahead to have a medic meet the aircraft and give the ill crew member a bit of TLC. Imagine the surprize therefore to find a full medical team with ambulance and blue flashers escort the aircraft off the runway with a full resus team waiting to get on board. It would appear that the military hospital received the message that one of the crew had "shot himself".

An unintentional vowel movement.
