  1. Good luck getting the directions to *that* illegal rave 

  2. Duh and duh

    I just assumed that’s just tradition since the uboats

  3. Whaaaat???

    Wasn’t living in a cabin with military rules anybody’s dream??? 

  4. The Brits are always sniffing something whether its tea or ketamine

  5. Ok fascistgraph same old hubris when it isn’t going warmongers way

  6. That’s what happens when you take away the grog rations

  7. Hahahaha, soldiers doing drugs is the worst kept secret in European militaries. I was a taxi driver in the Netherlands and I’ve seen some shit.

    As long as they do what they’re supposed to do when they’re supposed to do it, I guess.

  8. Can someone explain how this is in any way shocking or different from infantry in world wars using ket in the trenches

  9. Credit where it’s due, you need some discipline to maintain a hard drug habit when you live on a submarine.

  10. That’s pretty concerning. If drugs are able to be smuggled aboard a nuclear sub, surely other stuff could be getting onto the subs too? I could be reaching here but if security is this lax, what’s to say that foreign adversaries aren’t smuggling devices aboard subs to track/neutralise them?

  11. So we sailed on to the sun

    ‘Til we found the sea of green

    And we lived beneath the waves

    In our yellow submarine

  12. Only the Telegraph would consider cannabis as a hard drug.

  13. Drug abuse while serving on a sub carrying nuclear warheads is one step away from accidentally starting a nuclear exchange. They should be prosecuted, not dismissed. Just like they prosecuted those soldiers killing civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan.

  14. I’m shocked that our Sailors aren’t plaster saints

  15. I would expect this to a certain extent but my only real concern is the same that I have with prisons.

    How, in this supposedly secure environment, was someone able to bring these things into a PRISON or a NUCLEAR SUB undetected?

    And if they were able to do so… what ELSE could they have brought to those same locations.

    Sorry, but everything else is moot until we answer those questions. And the answer is “people responsible for the security of that location absolutely failing at their job, turning a blind eye and maybe even taking bribes”.

    It’s not “how was this sailor high while on the sub?” it’s “who the fuck runs a nuclear military sub that even allows it to be possible for sailors to bring in illegal drugs?”

  16. Worry not, world

    Sailors on cocaine and ecstasy are protecting your nuclear weapons with their steroid-fueled gains
