A drunken British submarine officer attempted to command the unloading of nuclear missiles in the United States. Writes about this The Sun.
Lieutenant Commander Len Louw was temporarily assigned to US Kings Bay in Georgia. The incident occurred while the Royal Navy submarine Vigilant was docked. Luv, who was to take command of the system, appeared on board the submarine drunk. Eyewitnesses note that he also brought a bucket of fried chicken with him.
Drunk, a British officer attempted to command the unloading of 16 Trident nuclear missiles from the sub. However, one of those present realized that Luv was drunk and reported this to his superiors.
The Sun reports that the guilty person has now been sent back to the base in Scotland, to which the submarine is assigned. An investigation has been launched against the lieutenant.
This is not the first scandal surrounding the Vigilant submarine. On October 15, it became known that part of the crew of the British nuclear submarine HMS Vigilant contracted the coronavirus in strip clubs and bars in the United States. The officers disobeyed the order to remain at the base and went to have fun.
Prior to that, the name of the sub was repeatedly mentioned in scandals due to parties and drugs on board, after which it was nicknamed “Sex and Cocaine in the Service of Her Majesty” (HMS Sex and Cocaine).
