Sea Patrol

Hammersley is sent to rescue aid workers during a coup in the Pacific nation of the Samaru Islands, but a recurring technical glitch causes Mike to demand NavCom for a Technical Operator on board the ship. After rescuing Ray Walsman and his associates they rendezvous with another ship to collect their new transfer, E.T.

Bombers short temper questions her career after she tries to push Spider over the side of a ship during a training exercise after he taunts and mocks her, causing Buffer to consider having her transferred off the ship. Hammersley rescues 2 men who claim their boat was stolen. Tracking the course of the stolen boat, Hammersley encounters the island home of Ray Walsman and his daughter Carly.

Nikki is still angry with E.T. that he returned aboard the ship when they are trying to build a relationship, despite his efforts to convince her he didn't have a choice in the matter without raising suspicion. Hammersley is diverted to intercept a SIEV (Suspected Illegal Entry Vessel) which has collided with coral and sunk.

A charming SAS officer causes a stir. An illegal fishing boat is the subject of a perilous boarding. A promised promotion is put at risk by a foolish stunt, and an elegant soiree given by the French Consulate on Samaru is attended by both Cupid and the green-eyed monster.

The RO's future in the Navy is in questions when an incident with the RHIB leads to the discovery that he has drugs in his system, and the crew start to question just how well they really know their radio operator.

Hammersley's crew have been joined by an agent from the Marine Protection Agency, Campbell Fulton, and he accompanies them when they board a FFV fishing for Trochus. The boarding appears to be mostly standard until they make a grisly discovery; one of the fisherman has been locked inside a barrel, and dies shortly after discovery.

Swain is distraught when he gets an e-mail from home telling him his wife has left and he is not to contact her, but he is forced to put aside his worries when a young boy he has befriended from the Samaru Islands becomes entangled with illegal gun smuggling and is later kidnapped.

Bomber's 21st birthday celebrations are cut short when she and Spider are lost overboard, and their rescuers are not as benevolent as they first appear. Meanwhile Buffer secretly deals with a personal tragedy.

When the crew of Hammersley rescue a long survivor of a pirate attack they discover his fellow crew have been murdered and the culprits sound very familiar to the men who attacked and stabbed Charge.

Captain Roth's patrol gets ambushed, leaving three dead and severely injuring Mike Flynn during the rescue. Kate is now in charge of Hammersley, and has to deal with a stowaway who has become close to ET hoping that she can use his affections to escape Samaru and get to Australia.

With Mike still recovering in hospital from the wound to his leg, Hammersley is assigned a new Commanding Officer, an 'old-school' CO and old friend of Charge. Everything starts well, but his orders start to become erratic.

Buffer's new girlfriend has decided to take a holiday, and since Buffer is not available she is going with another friend - a male friend. Buffer trusts her, but the banter of his shipmates soon make him question his trust and he starts a desperate attempt to try to contact her.

The net is tightening on Ray Walsman, and a warrant is issued for his arrest for his involvement with illegal gun running and tampering with the elections on Sameru, as well as the order he gave to have Buffer killed. Hammersley catch him and hand him over to the Sameru authorities to be charged with attempted murder, but he engineers an escape and reignites the coup on Sameru to cover his escape.
