The meat wasn’t the only thing being grilled.
A British submarine commander was relieved of his duty Tuesday after he allowed his crew to have a small party on a pier, the BBC reported.
Jonathan Lewis was, until recently, commander of the HMS Trenchant, a nuclear-powered submarine in the Royal Navy, according to the BBC. Now, however, he’s set to be reassigned following an internal investigation.
While some described it as a “rave,” the party appears quite tame, as one might expect from a bunch of middle-aged men.
Nonetheless, it was enough to get Lewis sacked, as the BBC reported that both senior officers on shore and aboard the submarine advised Lewis against the get-together.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who battled COVID-19 himself, recently ruled out any chance of the country ending its lockdown soon.
