Sea Patrol is an Australian television series that was broadcast from July 5, 2007 to July 12, 2011 on the Australian broadcaster Nine Network . The action takes place largely on the fictional patrol boat HMAS Hammersley of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) and is about the work and life of the crew . Despite similarities in locations and content, this series is not a continuation of the Patrol Boat series, which aired from 1979 to 1983 .

The second season in Australia is called Sea Patrol II: The Coup , the third Sea Patrol III: Red Gold , the fourth Sea Patrol IV: The Right Stuff and the fifth season Sea Patrol V: Damage Control .

action

Sea Patrol follows the life of the crew of the fictional patrol boat HMAS Hammersley of the Royal Australian Navy, which keeps order on the idyllic Australian coast of the state of Queensland and around the Great Barrier Reef . She takes action on violations of Australian law such as illegal fishing in Australian waters, illegal immigration by sea, drug smuggling and other problems encountered while on patrol. In addition to the commander, Lieutenant Commander Mike Flynn, 24 other naval officers, NCOs and crews are stationed on the boat.

main characters

Michael Flynn

Michael Flynn is usually called Mike and is the CO (Commanding Officer) of Hammersley. While teaching at ADFA, he had an affair with a young student, Kate McGregor. The two have always kept this a secret because they have crossed a professional limit. But now they meet again in the first episode of the first season, which leads to tension between them. Mike joined the Navy when he was 17 and has since worked his way up. He is always confident and exudes strength. That's why he's very popular with his crew.

Kate McGregor

Kate McGregor joins the Hammersley in season one and meets Mike, with whom she once had an affair. She is an Executive Officer (XO) and therefore first officer and is usually only called X. She is pretty, cool, professional, smart, and aloof. She keeps her private life secret from her teammates. She is also brave, tough, and striving to be perfect in everything she does. She is success-oriented and left the ADFA with many awards. On board the Hammersley, she finds it difficult to settle in at first, especially with Nav, with whom she shares her cabin, she has problems making friends. This is her facade because the real Kate is on the run from her past and never looks back as she always wants to move forward. Kate was born in England and came to Australia when she was nine when her mother moved here for love. After a short time, the relationship broke up, which shaped Kate strongly. She would never ditch her career for love. The rest of her family lived in England, so she was often lonely and learned early to take responsibility for herself and her mother. This made her a confident and strong personality. When she joined the Navy, she left her past and her mother behind.

Nikki Caetano

Nikki Caetano is Navigation Officer, or Nav for short, on board the Hammersley. She comes from an Australian-Italian family and has four older brothers. The 26-year-old shares her cabin with XO, which she doesn't particularly like at the beginning, as they have already worked together at HMAS Watson, where Kate was her teacher. She is very popular with all other colleagues because of her open and warm-hearted manner. It is emotional and mostly acts according to feelings. She has a relationship with her colleague Josh, which she hides, however, as this would mean the end of her careers.

Andy Thorpe

Andy Thorpe is the oldest and most senior senior seaman. He is 42 years old, is usually called the Charge and is the Chief Petty Officer. He joined the Navy at the age of 16. Charge is a good mechanic and takes care of the machinery aboard the Hammersley.

Robert J. Dixon

Robert J. Dixon is a Leading Seaman, i.e. the lowest-ranking non-commissioned officer, and is responsible for all radio communications, radar and information gathering. Most of them just call him RO (Radio Operator). His friendship and comradeship with the other team members is always strained, as he is viewed by everyone as unworldly and cold. However, this can also come from his childhood, as he was often emotionally abused by his father. He is very conscientious and reliable in obtaining information and in the rest of his work.

production

The real HMAS Wollongong as HMAS Hammersley (in the HMAS Waterhen base, Sydney)
Cap of the fictional Armidale class boat HMAS Hammersley

The television series shows the war between the sexes and the cultural diversity of the Navy , and addresses contemporary issues such as illegal fishing, refugees, drug trafficking, immigration and people smuggling. The episodes have an underlying mystery that runs through the series.

The cost of producing the first season was AU $ 15 million and that of the third season was AU $ 17 million .

The series was discontinued after the fifth season, because at that time a tax reduction applicable under Australian tax law up to 65 episodes produced expired.

Ships

Two real Fremantle-class boats were used during the first season, both of which then served as HMAS Hammersley. HMAS Wollongong was used for filming in Sydney , while HMAS Ipswich was used for six weeks on Dunk Island in Queensland . HMAS Hammersley was decommissioned during the final episode of the first season. The HMAS Kingston , another fictional Fremantle-class boat, is mentioned in many episodes and appears in the ninth episode.

While filming the first season, it was forecast that HMAS Hammersley would have to be replaced with newer Armidale-class boats in the next few seasons. The later seasons use an Armidale class boat, also called HMAS Hammersley , with the Hull number 82. For the second season, the recordings were made on the HMAS Broome and later on the HMAS Launceston . The first season was filmed exclusively on a decommissioned Fremantle-class boat.

Locations

The city of Cairns , Dunk Island , Mission Beach and Cowley Beach , which is near Innisfail , as well as the Tamborine Mountains in the Australian state of Queensland and the Navy Base HMAS Waterhen in Sydney , New South were used as outdoor locations Wales . The interior filming all took place at Warner Roadshow Studios in Gold Coast .
