I have never been in the Navy, but I imagine it would be hard to take orders from a women when everyone knows some dude of lesser rank is plowing her.
On the flip side, if it was a male everyone would be applauding him saying its his god given right to plow bitches since hes a Commander of a Naval vessel.
Thoughts from former/current navy people? And yes I realize this is not the US navy.
Commander Sarah West, 42, took charge of HMS Portland in May 2012
While Royal Navy investigates, Cdr West, from Grimsby, Lincolnshire, can retain her position
It is not known whether the male officer is married
Cdr West recently called herself ‘single’, having been married to a former RN pilot in 1998; pair later separated
The first female commander of a Royal Navy warship has been sent home after allegedly having an affair with another officer.
Commander Sarah West, 42, took charge of the frigate HMS Portland in May 2012, but has been sent home from duty after claims she was having a relationship with a male officer on the same ship.
This would breach the Armed Forces’ Code of Social Conduct, which prohibits personnel from having relationships with subordinates if they compromise ‘operational effectiveness’.
While the Royal Navy is investigating the affair, Cdr West, from Grimsby, Lincolnshire, retains her position as commander of HMS Portland.
It is not known whether the male officer is married.
Cdr West recently described herself as ‘single’, having been married to a former Royal Navy pilot in 1998. The pair later separated.
A Royal Navy spokesman said last night: ‘We are aware of an allegation of a breach of the Code of Social Conduct on board HMS Portland, which we are treating seriously.
‘Anyone who is found to fall short of the Royal Navy’s high standards can expect to face appropriate action. It would be inappropriate to comment further.’
Earlier this year, Cdr West said work commitments had got in the way of her love life.
She said in a newspaper interview: ‘I’m really proud to be the first woman but I’m not reinventing the wheel. Lots of women in the services have challenging roles. It’s just that I happen to be newsworthy at the moment.
‘There are drawbacks, though. Years at sea probably explains why I’m single. But every person in the military makes sacrifices.’
She added: ‘I’m a comprehensive-educated northerner who knew nothing about the military as I grew up. I worked as a trainee manager for two years after leaving university – then got bored with the nine-to-five.’
