Adm Sir Ben Key says independent investigations into complaints would 'lead to less good outcomes'.
The head of the Royal Navy has defended the way the service handles allegations of rape and sexual abuse.
The Navy has launched an inquiry following allegations made last month of bullying and sexual harassment against women in the Submarine Service.she had been raped and fallen pregnant while serving at sea. Speaking to Broadcasting House on Sunday, Adm Sir Ben described Catherine's testimony as "heart-breaking", calling her treatment "abhorrent".
But Adm Sir Ben said those examining allegations of abuse or rape on board a Navy vessel needed to understand how life at sea works and consider "the context" in which the alleged offences took place. "But one of my challenges, or concerns, about that is that, actually, that's just going to add time - and one of the things we really need to do is to investigate these things much more quickly."
