Royal Navy security personnel stand guard on HMS Vigilant at Her Majesty’s Naval Base, Clyde, Scotland in 2016. Those found to have fallen short of our high standards face being discharged from service,” a Royal Navy spokesman said, according to Reuters. Inside is a “letter of last resort” — instructions from the prime minister that detail what the crew should do if the United Kingdom is attacked with nuclear weapons. Other members of the crew have threatened to resign over the widespread breaches in Royal Navy rules. Speaking in Seoul on Saturday, U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said the threat of a nuclear attack by North Korea is growing.
