These people just assume the guilt of the ships.. "Yeah they have dumped the drugs" or they could be innocent and your "intel" could be bad. Pompous fools

Looks like fun. It does make the Navy look rather poorly funded. It makes you think, does the UK really have the resources to afford the luxury of this sort of service?

Broken ship, 30+ years old? What a shambles and the biggest travesty against our lads n ladies lives that there ever was. Can't even refrigerate the food properly and keep the vessel seaworthy so costs even more money long term than buying a new ship. Sort the problems out at home like mass uncontrolled immigration, negligent leadership, the EU and maybe we could afford some decent gear for our guys. Priority number 1, for crying out loud!! They deserve it!!

how much of tax payer money wasted. look like our government do not understand how drugs organizations works,the intel. they get is to keep them busy so they can do their business elsewhere and if they catch something is only 50 k which is nothing compere to the tons that come in the country

As a veteran of 4 windies deployments, as you might expect, I have watched this series with great interest. Not only is the subject matter close to my heart but it is accurate and extremely well crafted. Well done channel 5!

Hi, i'm a 16 year old who has a dad in the Navy. I wish to join, however, i do not know whether to go in as a officer or a rating. Any advice would be useful. Thanks. I watch the programs because they give a huge insight on life in the navy

Such a pity that they're being made to make so many cut backs to personnel and ships.

Evidence, as if it were needed, that we have the best forces in world. It's a pleasure to be a fly on their wall for a while. Wonderful insight. And good luck to all the crew on redeployment once the ship docks for the final time.

I take it they're better places to live than I remember? Back in the early 1990's I was on the Birmingham and it was a bloody terrible place to live and work. My respect to all of you keeping the old girls working - it can't be easy.

I spent 23 years in the RN both on the surface fleet and in the Submarine service, they were the best years of my life, and I would recomend it to any one.

Well - along with the rest of the support crew here, I cannot wait for the next one. Just gives us all an insight of what our lads n lasses have to do and the conditions they endure on deployment.
