| Royal Navy forced to advertise for rear-admiral on LinkedIn |
| 2024-01-07 |
| [TheTimes] The chosen candidate will replace Rear-Admiral Simon Asquith as director of submarines and will be responsible for “elite operations” and the nation’s nuclear deterrent, according to the advertisement. The advert, which went up on LinkedIn in December, has raised eyebrows among the military community, with one former senior submariner saying it was "utterly shameful". He said that when the advert was first published, the only person who applied [...] was not properly qualified.  |

#1  "The service operates six fleet submarines (SSNs), of the Trafalgar and Astute classes (with two further Astute-class boats currently under construction), and four ballistic missile submarines (SSBN), of the Vanguard class. All of these submarines are nuclear powered."And none of these commanders are worthy of promotion? Something is odd about this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Navy_Submarine_Service |
