Fair justice ( assuming he was the guilty one )
This.
As long as he was guilty, he should be thankful he didnt get a lot worse.

Why would he have leaned onto lockers with his hands? Why would he even be leaning on them, surely if he was leaning on them he must have been stood around talking to someone, which could have been an aliby.
Theres no reason to be leaning on lockers, if he had time to loaf about he would have been down the mess or in his bunk.

So when changing your shoes etc you've never put your hand on the wall to stabilise yourself?

lolThat's the rub. He may not be guilty. Without absolute proof it's mob justice.
I have, yet without having done anything wrong I've never felt guilty, if I caused a partially broken door to break off when I did it, I wouldn't run and hide, I would tell someone so it can be fixed. Only if I felt guilty or broke a door on purpose, would I maybe try to hide that I did it.
This is the problem, someone who wasn't guilty wouldn't even worry about getting help getting it removed or asking someone what the heck was going on. Pretty much only a guilty person would be trying to hide it.
why would he be changing his shoes?
You only wear 1 pair onboard our warships, there is no reason for them to be off your feet anywhere other than at the foot lockers, which he wasnt stealing out of
all look directly at the guy, and simply point directly at the guy in silence

300 men? Anything over the 200 odd mark (Type 45) then it has to be one of the 5 biggest ships (3 Carriers and 2 Assault Ships). I don't think the stories true, just does not feel right.
Or one of the few 42s left
The OP's story doesn't sound hugely believable.
If a ship is visiting ports then it's either going on exercise or on it's way to start an op. Either way there are crew shifts going on 24/7, so a mess deck is never empty even when most of the crew is out on a run ashore.
Anyone painting anything with mysterious non removable paint (highly unlikely to be on board in the first place let alone un-secured) is going to get jailed the instant a petty officer sees it, simple as that. And lockers aren't painted black in the first place.
Officers joining in a communal punishment after the Captain declares someone not guiilty on ships orders? Not if they like their career.
No laws broken? Conduct predudice to the preservation of military discipline springs to mind immediately (although that may not be the same in the navy as in the army in my day), as well as any anti bullying guidelines brought in over the last few years. And you don't 'resign' although the Captain could have binned him off the ship for any reason.
If the story was true he'd have grounds to sue the arse off the MOD.
