According to The Sun, the captain is in command of one of four Vanguard-class nuclear submarines, Trident II-class submarines that play a key role in the nuclear deterrent of Anh .
Although the identity of the captain has not been revealed, the incident has sparked controversy over the strictness of the Royal Navy's internal regulations and management.
A Royal Navy spokesman insisted that anyone found guilty would be held accountable, regardless of their position or rank. He stressed that behaviour that falls short of the highest standards would not be tolerated in the navy.
The captain is alleged to have been one of the youngest officers to command an attack submarine before qualifying for command of a nuclear missile boat. He has met Princess Anne, the sister of King Charles, and was awarded the Order of the British Empire for his significant contributions to clandestine work.
However, this person's inappropriate behavior has damaged his personal reputation as well as the prestige of the navy. The incident caused a stir in the navy, especially when this captain had been awarded and met the royal family.
Several crew members have come forward to testify that the captain had an inappropriate relationship with a young sailor during the deployment. They even accused him of sending sexual selfies and videos of the two of them, which were then sent to the sailor. However, the identity of the sailor has not been revealed.
The captain was initially reassigned to clerical duties, but after admirals reviewed the pornographic video, he was dismissed from the navy. The incident once again highlights the challenges of managing and controlling the behavior of members of the submarine force.
In recent years, the British submarine force has struggled to recruit and retain personnel, especially commanders. Following the retirement of Rear Admiral Simon Asquith last year, the Royal Navy had to advertise jobs on LinkedIn because it could not find suitable replacements from within the current force.
Last November, one of the Vanguard-class submarines nearly met with disaster when one of its equipment malfunctioned, causing the vessel to nearly exceed its depth limit, risking being crushed and killing all 140 people on board.
The four ships missile The Vanguard class - comprising Vanguard, Victorious, Vigilant and Vengeance - were built between 1986 and 1999 as part of the Trident II programme. However, as of last year, only two of these ships were considered operational, while the remaining two were undergoing upgrades or trials after repairs.
