   Some of the Navy's first female submariners were secretly   
   videotaped while undressing and showering on board the USS   
   Wyoming, a ballistic missile submarine, service officials   
   confirmed Wednesday.   
      
   Navy officials are investigating a 24-year old male sailor who   
   is accused of making and distributing the videos, according to a   
   Nov. 14 incident report circulated among the service's senior   
   leaders, according to Navy Times, which first reported the story.   
      
   The male sailor has only been identified as a second class petty   
   officer, according to Navy Times.   
      
   The USS Wyoming, in service since 1996, is an Ohio-class   
   ballistic missile submarine home ported at Kings Bay, Georgia.   
   An Ohio-class submarine has about 140 enlisted sailors and   
   approximately 15 officers. The Wyoming was one of the first   
   submarines to bring women on board in 2011, adding female supply   
   officers to the crew.   
      
   The videos, recorded over a one year period, are believed to   
   show at least three female officers while showering or   
   undressing, according to a source who has spoken to one of the   
   alleged victims, Navy Times reported.   
      
   The Naval Criminal Investigative Service, or NCIS, is   
   investigating the incidents in question, according to the   
   incident report, Navy officials said.   
      
   "The Navy is aware of an allegation of alleged criminal activity   
   onboard USS Wyoming home ported at Kings Bay. The Navy and NCIS   
   are investigating the matter, and unfortunately further details   
   are not available at this time due to the ongoing investigation.   
   If the allegations prove to be factual, the Navy will ensure   
   individuals involved are held accountable for their actions,"   
   said Lt. Leslie Hubbell, a spokeswoman for Submarine Group Ten,   
   in a written statement.   
      
   The report of the investigation comes to light a day before the   
   Pentagon has planned to release the annual sexual assault report.   
      
   Navy women began submarine training about four years ago and the   
   service has been preparing to further integrate them on Virginia-   
   class attack submarines. In addition, the Navy has been   
   preparing to integrate enlisted women into submarine ranks as   
   well.   
      
   One Navy official who did not wish to be identified expressed   
   profound disappointment at the news.   
      
   "Incidents like this show we are not where we want to be. This   
   is the stuff we need to flush out to make sure it doesn't happen   
   again," the Navy official told Military.com.   
      
   A Navy submarine officer, who asked for his name not be   
   published, said he was afraid something like this might occur.   
      
   "It sucks. It was bound to happen," he told Military.com.
