The British Ministry of Defense has acknowledged that accidentally hung up on their website confidential information about the safety of its fleet of nuclear submarines. A reporter from the tabloid newspaper 'Daily Star' detected the error and alerted the ministry of its Web site that contained a report that paragraphs should be labeled in black were visible in error, said the newspaper.
The report addressed the future of nuclear submarines. Some parts of the text contained expert opinions to the effect that submarines would not be secure enough to cope with an emergency situation. In turn, the text contained information on how to protect U.S. Navy nuclear submarines. The 'Daily Star' in its Sunday edition ensures that the information is accidentally revealed "high interest" to the enemies of the United Kingdom.
Its publication could be "potentially catastrophic," the paper quoted Deputy 'Tory' Patrick Mercer. "The Ministry of Defence is very grateful to the journalist that warned us of the problem," said a ministry spokesman. "When we became aware of it, then we make sure the document was removed and exchanged for a duly corrected version.
We take very seriously the nuclear safety and will do everything possible to avoid future incidents of this kind." The UK's nuclear fleet has been in recent months repeatedly topical issue. In October 2010 the most modern submarine in the Royal Navy in Scotland sank during a test cruise.
And in early April, a Marine shot dead in the same boat with an officer and wounded another with his weapon.
