H.M.S. WARSPITE
DISCIPLINE DEFECTIVE
„(Per British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, August- 25
It is understood that the battleship AVarspite will sail for the Mediterranean on- September 2, subject to satisfactory new machinery trials. The report of the Court of Inquiry into a. misunderstanding which arose in June last, in reference to week-end leave on the Warspite, indicates the discipline of certain ratings on that occasion was unsatisfactory. It also shows that the handling of the situation was not entirely satisfactory.
The Admiralty has issued orders for the removal of ratings numbering not more than nine or ten from that ship to other snips, It has also given instructions for two or three men to be discharged from the Navy, their services being no longer required. Further, the Admiralty decided that it is necessary to relieve from appointment, three of the officers of Ehe ship. Discipline on the Warspite is now entirely satisfactory. ' *
