Captain removed over MoD car misuse.

[Kawasaki Jimbo]

There's got to be more to this story. I wonder what he's been up to?

Seems petty, but he apparently repeatedly ignored warnings not to use the car for private mileage, showing an arrogance and unwilling to follow orders.

Not the best character to be in charge of an aircraft carrier.

Or maybe decades ago he shot a terrorist, so must be punished to appease the Libtards?

It does sound like there was more to it than just using his MoD Ford Galaxy for private mileage.

I would imagine he's put someone's nose out of joint. No one gives a flying fuck what the lower ratings think of him so it'll be someone higher up. "I don't like the cut of your jib" won't get you a court marshal so they went for the car thing.

Oh, and using mods fuel is theft (long term lease cars are used with a fuek card) and the fact that the personal tax cannot be charged correctly for personal usage (in the same way as a company car attracts tax)

Some Captains get a real 'Look at me, I'm the Captain' arrogance on getting a command.

If it's on a scruffy oil tanker where he will get told he's being an arse, it's one thing, on the Navy's Flagship where he is God Almighty and the Navy's representative, I doubt it would go down to well.

(I get the same when I'm Captaining my boat, trouble is the crew don't give a toss and say very rude things to me )

He's not even a captain, just a commander.

Ah, the old "blame Al Beeb" excuse...

Nah, he was a Commodore on both occasions.. or Cdre for short.

Is it the case that every ship has a "captain" as a functional title whereas the rating might bit anywhere from ensign to admiral?

E.g. "Who is the captain of the Queen Liz? Commodore Diddler."

Captain Kirk didn't follow rules, Spock was a stickler for them though.
