Further disciplinary action could be taken after four sailors on the navy supply ship HMAS Success were sent home for allegedly staging a contest, to see how many female sailors they could bed during an extended sea voyage.
Navy chief Vice Admiral Russ Crane says the allegations emerged in a navy equity and diversity health check program, initiated by the commanding officer of the Success, when it was berthed in Singapore in May.
He says once the allegations were known, the Navy acted immediately by removing the sailors allegedly involved in the matter from the ship, and referring the matter for an independent investigation.
He says action will be taken as quickly as possible, once the investigation's findings are known.
