:06:10. > :06:11.was coming to the end of a seven-month deployment

:06:55. > :06:57.in which she left. They have said she is now on annual leave and her
:06:58. > :07:01.second-in-command is in charge of the ship. A spokesman said they were
:07:02. > :07:08.aware of an allegation of a breach of the code of social conduct
:07:09. > :07:11.on-board Portland, which was being treated seriously and anybody found
:07:12. > :07:21.to fall short of the high standards of the Royal Navy could expect to
:07:22. > :07:28.face appropriate action. That code covers personal relationship, which
:07:29. > :07:31.are not permitted if they compromise operational success. She could face
:07:32. > :07:33.sanctions including being removed from her command, if she is found to
:07:34. > :07:40.have breached the code. A judge is being investigated
:07:41. > :07:42.after he was accused of falling asleep during a child
