This officer has no place in the navy and should be booted out forthwith.

Navaleye, I am not defending but how in all that is holy did it take 6 years to bring him to the CM?

Does the RN issue hankies to submarine crew:rolleyes:
Nice to know our nuclear deterrent is in the hands of fine, strong officers. Perhaps the horses-neck had been overdone the night before.:eek:

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? :uhoh:

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

Did nobody ever simply tell him to fcuk off?

...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.

Re: RN Sub Commander in Dressing Gown Tirades
 

My question is: how did he ever fit in a sub? Fat chocka..
Sorry, discrimination alert, I'll charge myself :E

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!!!!!

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.

Anyone who's ever met Ryan Ramsey would find it tough to believe ANYONE would intimidate him. Must have been some tirade.

Anyone remember the RAFG Provost bloke, Gus Fidget in the 80's?? Sounds like his brother!!

Re: RN Sub Commander in Dressing Gown Tirades
 

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

Re: RN Sub Commander in Dressing Gown Tirades
 

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

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....
