HMAS Success carries a crew of 220 male and female sailors

An investigation is under way in Australia over claims that navy sailors competed with each other to bed their female colleagues for cash prizes.

According to Channel Seven news, sailors on board HMAS Success put a cash value on each woman's head.

Sleeping with a female officer or a lesbian, or having sex in a strange place, won more money, the report said.

The Defence Department confirmed that a number of individuals had been sent back to Australia for interviews.

HMAS Success, which has a crew of 220, is currently on exercises in South East Asia.

According to the Channel Seven report, the contest came to light in May, when the vessel was in Singapore.

It said that the sailors recorded their efforts in a book called The Ledger, challenging each other to sleep with as many female colleagues as possible.

Sex on a pool table or with a lesbian reportedly scored higher points.

The Defence Department did not confirm how many sailors were involved.

But, in a statement to Seven Network, it said that a number of concerns raised by female crew members were "now subject to formal inquiry".

The "veracity of any allegations" had yet to be confirmed, it said.

I can't see what the problem is if all parties were willing.

The girls probably had their own contest going.

Using females as sex objects. Encouraging.



There's hope for the young men yet. At one stage I thought they've all been conquered and subjugated by the feminists and faced a bleak future.

Not sure about that. They are in strife.

Last month rugby players were in trouble for having consensual sex and now sailors are in trying for planning to do so and relieving their boredom by making a game of it.

Life for the Australian male is already bleak.

what's wrong with having gay sex in those naval ships ?

fucking amateurs, the end of an era

Smithson

It's probably OK, as long as there's no gambling or pool tables involved.

I didn't think Aussies were into that ass banditry,, ain't that a Frog naval passtime, I heard that the queen made her navy quit it as it was getting shit all over the towels, which also happens in the French Navy, but it don't bother them.

Dug

I met this fudgepacker in Thailand who carried on about how he liked to seduce young American sailors. Reckoned it was pointless trying it on with the Aussies as they wouldn't be in it.

Nawty

The girls complaining are just the ones not listed in the book.

Personaly I think it is wrong.

They are on a battle ship and the best idea for a place for sex they could come up with was a pool table ?? How about on top of one a them big guns ??

Or straddling a cruise missile....how many points would that get ?

TOP brass in the Royal Australian Navy fear any widening of the inquiry into sailors ticking off sex acts on HMAS Success because it could reveal the extent of illicit sex at sea.

Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard said she wanted "The Ledger" sex competition, in which sailors tried to score with as many young female sailors as possible, to be fully investigated so young women would continue to consider navy careers.

But a senior RAN officer told the Herald Sun that sexual horseplay was "rampant", despite rules prohibiting on-board relationships.

The officer claims a proper inquiry would "put rugby league sex scandals to shame".

"Sex games are used to break up the monotony and tension, and any inquiry would find it more common than is being admitted to," the officer said.

Four sailors from the Success were ordered home from Singapore for allegedly organising a sexual conquests contest in May.

According to Channel 7, which first aired the claims, sailors awarded themselves bonus cash prizes for conquests of lesbians or officers during extended voyages at sea.

But navy chief Vice Admiral Russ Crane said the game surfaced during an audit of on-board behaviour while the Success was visiting Singapore.

"Navy is awaiting the results of the Australian Defence Force Investigative Service investigation," Vice Admiral Crane said.

"It will act as quickly as possible to address appropriate findings and recommendations, particularly should disciplinary or administrative action be warranted."

Ms Gillard wants Defence to conduct a thorough inquiry.

"We don't want to see anything that precludes women from having a good career in our armed forces if that is what they choose to do with their lives," Ms Gillard said.

"Clearly, these allegations need to be fully investigated."

Feminist commentator Melinda Tankard-Reist told Sky News that "animal-type mob behaviour" was supposed to have been eradicated from the navy.

"Obviously it is not," she said.

How terrible, mistreating the girls like that. Ill bet most of the poor little innocent things aren't even on the pill.

Definitely a crime worthy of a Naval enquiry.

Bet it was a butch Lezzo that blew the whistle cause the boys wouldn't let her on their team.

I wonder how much money will be wasted on this enquiry....

Lucky to have women to play with. HM matelots used to shag fish to get off. they aren't called skates for nothing.

The dudes might be doing about the same thing if the govt don't issue douche kits and there is a lot of fucking going on and the fish smells would be rampant seems to me.
