Outline

Hammersley is stranded in a deadly minefield after being attacked by heavily armed smugglers, and the NAVY call out one of their mine sweepers to assist with the clear-up. Charge goes to extreme lengths to earn the respect of his estranged son who is now a midshipman on the Mine sweeper.

Buffer gets a lesson in tough love from a sexy training officer, but her lessons are put into practice when one of the mines detonates under the hull of the Mine sweeper and the crew are involved in a sailor’s worst nightmare – fire at sea.

Guest actors: Steve Bisley (as Commander Steve Marshall).
