AAP 4 sailors are facing court martial following navy probe into allegations of inappropriate behaviour.Four sailors are facing court martial following a navy probe into allegations of inappropriate behaviour.
The Royal Australian Navy on Friday revealed it had charged four personnel over an incident that allegedly occurred aboard HMAS Ballarat in 2011.
The navy says the charges relate to allegations which emerged in the wake of last year's media reports of hazing rituals aboard the warship.
A former naval member appeared on television in 2013 with claims sailors were "set upon, stripped off and had things essentially put in their bums" to mark birthdays.
At the time, Chief of Navy Ray Griggs called for others to come forward if they knew of other instances of alleged inappropriate behaviour.
"All of Navy has worked to make people accountable for their behaviour," Vice Admiral Griggs said on Friday.
"There is now no doubt that all personnel are aware that Navy has no tolerance for unacceptable behaviour."
The four naval members charged will face a general court martial this year.
Three have already been suspended from duty, and officials are weighing up whether to suspend the fourth person.
