Probe after secret nuclear submarine documents found in Barrow pub toilets

The Royal Navy said it will launch an investigation after secret nuclear submarine documents were found in a Barrow pub’s toilets.

The Sun is reporting that the classified files about the £1.3 billion HMS Anson had been dropped in the toilets of the Furness Railway on a ‘busy’ Saturday night.

The files, marked official sensitive, and a lanyard were discovered in a cubicle of the Wetherspoon-owned pub, which is close to the town’s BAE Systems. HMS Anson was built at BAE.

It is understood that the documents were from a training manual and a Royal Navy spokesman told the Sun they were ‘generic’ but it did take all security matters extremely seriously and would launch an investigation.
