Nine British navy sailors were discharged after allegations of drug-fueled parties while their submarine was docked at Kings Bay in Georgia.
The Daily Mail reports that the sailors were discharged from the navy after testing positive for cocaine in September.
The sailors were drug tested after their senior officers heard about drug- and sex-fueled parties at their hotel while their submarine was docked at Kings Bay, according to the Daily Mail.
Four sailors were immediately flown home and five more were dismissed Thursday.
