Documents marked “sensitive” about a new British submarine have been found in the toilet of a British pub. According to the Ministry of Defense, these are training documents that do not contain classified information.
Ministry officials confirmed the authenticity of the papers to the Sun newspaper. “These documents enable subsea operators and contractors to understand how systems interact. They don’t describe how they work, just that they exist,” the paper quoted a Royal Navy source as saying.
The place where the documents were found, The Furness Railway, is near a BAE Systems shipyard in the western English town of Barrow-in-Furness, where the submarine HMS Anson was recently spotted. The submarine departed for its maiden voyage in mid-February, is nuclear-powered and costs around 1.3 billion pounds (almost 1.5 billion euros).
Secret documents forgotten at the bus stop
It is not the first time that British military data has emerged in the public domain. In June 2021, for example, a Defense employee forgot secret documents at a bus stop.
