#2 Sir Churchill may not be up to date anymore.

The title is very misleading. It looks like the two top male officers each had separate affairs with separate female crewmembers.

There's no avoiding that walk of shame.

There's no room for this sort of screw up.
They should be keel-hauled...
It's only a matter of time before a crash like the USN seems to be suffering from.
