A drunken Wren sank her teeth into a midshipman's nose on a trip ashore for officer cadets from the Britannia Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, Devon, a court martial heard yesterday.

The Wren, Lt Katheryn Arnold, 32, was later punched in the face by her victim, Midshipman Lee Parker, 22, the hearing at HMS Drake in Plymouth was told.

Arnold, from Aldershot, and Parker, from Cambridge, were both dismissed from the college by the court, though their naval careers will continue.
