Nice to see we're not the only ones who are punished for the way we act "whilst" on liberty, but I have one question: Why were six men swimming naked together?

Rum, Nudity and the Lash

LONDON (AP) — The British navy has punished a group of officers for apparently swimming naked in the Caribbean, the Ministry of Defense said Tuesday.

The group of about six men and one woman belong to the crew of the destroyer HMS Liverpool (search), which is helping rebuild the island of Grenada (search) after Hurricane Ivan.

After a meal ashore, the group went for a swim. The female officer, a doctor, wore a bikini and swam apart from her fellow officers, some of whom apparently were naked, a ministry spokesman said.

The captain of the HMS Liverpool confined the officers to their ship until June 1 and removed their entitlement to drink alcohol while aboard the vessel, he said.

"This sort of behavior was considered to be inappropriate, and action was taken to remind individual officers of the high standards expected, especially whilst overseas," the spokesman added.

Somewhere in all this there's a joke to made ending in the line "God Save the Queen", but I'm not finding it...

I just HATE it when they take the alcohol from us onboard ship... wait... we DON'T get alcohol on ship, man, those crazy Limeys!! Too bad I went P3s:

ME "How much time till we assume the ready?"

3P "12 hours 24 minutes"

ME "Sweet, hand me another VB... you think Baskin Robbins is still open?"

If you think that's bad, you should see what the Royal Marines get into on a regular basis while on libo. The phrase, "More balls than brains," comes to mind. I went out with a bunch who were at Quantico for some training a while ago, and I think that I STILL have a hangover...

The Brits are a crazy lot. All the times that I've partied with them overseas, there is usually at least one of them dressed as a chick, or just completely naked. It's their way, and we can not judge. ;) Most of them are also damned fine aviators.

It's good to see that "the naked guy" knows no cultural boundaries.

We had a British contract civilian supply ship berthed next to us in port. They all sang "Father Abraham" on the pier, removing a piece of clothing with each verse, until they were all dancing in a circle, buck-naked on the pier.
