3:13Now PlayingFormer naval officer Sophie Brook, who raised the alarm about alleged sexual harassment and abuse onboard the UK’s nuclear submarines, has told Sky News she feels let down and left in limbo by the Royal Navy. Sophie says, 'It's rude... it's like having a second injury."
The whistleblower says she has heard nothing since an investigation into her claims was launched by the head of the navy 18 months ago.
A spokesperson for the Royal Navy said: "The First Sea Lord is clear that any behaviour which falls short of the highest standards will not be tolerated and anyone found culpable will be held accountable. Work around an investigation into allegations of inappropriate behaviour in the Submarine Service is ongoing and given the complex nature of the allegations, it is important to take time to do this thoroughly."
Sky's security and defence editor Deborah Haynes has this exclusive report.
