Default Female Royal Navy sailor 'was raped on ship'

[A female former Royal Navy sailor,
who says she was raped on a ship,
has spoken of her anger at claims
that servicewomen are still being abused.


The Royal Navy has launched
an inquiry following sexual harassment
allegations in the Submarine Service.
"Catherine" told BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour
she didn't feel she could report her rape,
which led to a pregnancy.

Defence Secretary Ben Wallace
said he was very serious about tackling
the issue and things were changing.
In October, claims from several women that
they had faced mistreatment over the
course of a decade, were described as
"abhorrent" by the head of the Royal Navy.
Adm Sir Ben Key, the First Sea Lord,
said at the time that sexual harassment
would not be tolerated and anyone found
culpable would be "held accountable".]
