Drawings of British submarines sent to the wrong address.

Courier service to the company for the production of 12 metal jewelry boxes with secret documents for the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain. The contents of a parcel included drawings of submarines, and military installations from the scheme showing the location of offices of officials, writes British newspaper The Daily Telegraph.
The owner Mark Chembers (Mark Chambers) called the ministry to find out what to do with the premise, but he replied that no one knows what to do in this situation and offered to ask the question in the appropriate section on the departmental website.
Then Chembers decided to return the parcel to the sender of mail, but he immediately phoned the Ministry of Defense and otrugali for the negligent handling of military secrets. In the end, courier service, which found the company Chembersa government contractor, brought the box back.
The owner said that he was secretary of Russian works, and she said that in Russia in such a blunder would have departed long ago the head. Meanwhile, the British Ministry of Defense refused to comment on details of the incident, noting only that it conducted a thorough investigation.
According to BBC News, the premise in Derbyshire has been sent to private design bureau Atkins from Bristol, which is orders of government. However, the administration was clearly the addressee: the company Lecky Metal Ornaments, city Svodlinkot (Swadlincote), Derbyshire County.
Chembers told that by opening one of the boxes, he found a note in it that would attach from the outside: "Do not open. The secret information."
The various British authorities have recently been solved many cases of loss of classified and sensitive information. For example, May 14, BBC News reported that the Defense Ministry reported on the disappearance of only the first four months of 2009, 28 laptops, four computers, 20 flash cards and smart phone with a device for reading e-mail.
