A Royal Navy sailor was reportedly arrested over a bomb hoax on a Trident submarine.
The Petty Officer on HMS Vanguard is claimed to have caused a full emergency response after calling in a bomb warning to the 16,000-tonne submarine’s main control room.
His alleged threat, believed to have been a prank, is said to have triggered a lockdown at HMNB Clyde, the navy’s headquarters in Scotland where nuclear-armed submarines are kept.
Isn't it great having such quality people manning the fleet!

“Cox’n required Accomodation Space with restraints”.
It happens. Usually the Doc gives them a shot. Submarines are too small and too full of things that can kill everyone to let them run around loose.
