  • Warship: Life at sea.

    Channel 5 is currently showing the above show.
    So far an excellent documentary. The makers embed with HMS Duncan during her deployment to the Med, and the Black sea.

    Worth a watch, if you can get channel 5.

    For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

    Forgot it was on...this incident (which I hadn't heard about) is featured...

    Footage from an upcoming documentary will show the moment HMS Duncan was swarmed by 17 Russian jets as she led a NATO fleet through the Black Sea earlier this year.


    Some of the comments below have war-gamed the likely scenario for the task group had that been a real attack...

      "Join the crew of the most advanced warship in the world."

      So is this TV program actually about the JDS Maya or the USS Zumwalt?

        It's channel 5. The audience there don't see any world beyond England.

          "Join the crew of the most advanced Brexiteer warship in the world."

          Fixed that for them.
          "He is an enemy officer taken in battle and entitled to fair treatment."
          "No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."

            HMS Echo (survey ship) supposed to be heading to the Black Sea
            Lord West said it would be better to deploy a Type 45 destroyer to the region which would be "able to look after itself".


            That will deter Putin

              It's a pity it's not on BBC or Channel 4. I can tune it into the Sky Box but can't record. Will have to wait until someone inevitably puts it up on Youtube!
