BANANA PEEL? First Female UK Navy Commander Relieved Over Affair


Commander Sarah West, the first female commander of a major Royal Navy warship, has been removed from her post

The first female commander of a frontline warship in the history of the Royal Navy, who left her vessel last month amid claims she had an affair with a shipmate, has been removed from her post, according to Press Association report.
A spokesman for the Royal Navy confirmed that Commander Sarah West had been "removed from command", but said she would remain in the service and be re-appointed to another post.
Cdr West, 42, took charge of Type 23 frigate HMS Portland in May 2012, but left her vessel in July when claims emerged that she had a relationship with a fellow sailor.
