HMS Nelson
Apparently he met some of his former colleagues before the broadcast 

Actually, Woodrooffe having served on the Nelson previously, on arriving on board some time before the broadcast he was taken around the ship and at each of the ship's various departments was offered a drink by people he knew. By all accounts "Tommy" Woodrooffe was popular and well liked on Nelson and by the time the broadcast was due he had visited all of the various areas of the ship and, it being impolite to refuse such 'hospitality' from one's former shipmates, had imbibed considerable more than he had anticipated or intended.

Presumably Lord Reith understood this as Woodrooffe (rightfully IMHO) got away with a mere 'slap on the wrist'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.68.219 (talk) 19:00, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
