Think its good to watch and, see the difficulties in the modern navy with old, dated equipment etc.
So what if its not done the way some old salts on here say it was in their day? Things change!
What's your point? I criticise the filming and the crappy editing. The crew come across as a bunch of amateurs and the ship is portrayed as falling apart. Nothing to do with being an "old salt". Use your eyes and ears. The film makers seem to want to portray the ship and its crew in a very subtle derogatory way...and have succeeded. I am not the greatest fan of the RN, but I believe in fairness, and this bilge wasn't fair. Also too much coverage of the "kids" and not enough of the people who do the things that makes the entity "work". The equipment is not old and outdated...her recent refit (at our expense) brought her up to modern standards. Get your facts right before you spout off.
Oh do calm down. I didnt think the crew did come across as a 'bunch of amatuers.' Far from it in fact. Some of those featured were young and probably inexperienced. How are they to get experience then? The ship had problems, why the heck should the bbc, or anyone else for that matter, paper over those faults? I suggest you climb down from your high horse. I didnt get the impression the film crew or producers wanted to portray the ships company in the light you suggest. You seem to be quite hysterical about a matter of fact programme that showed warts and all which were few and far between. Perhaps later programmes will concentrate on the people who make the entity 'work' as you say, later in the series? It was only the first programme for god's sake!
The refit may have brought systems up to date but was the refit doen before, during or after the programme? If after, I dont see how you can say the air compressor was modern. It looked old and had quite a bit of rust on it by the look of things so the refit obviously didnt renew that piece of equipment. There was also the problem with the shaft. Perhaps the refit didnt cover that?
And have you stopped for just one moment to think it may well serve the people of this country what difficulties our service personnel have to put up with as regards pieces of equipment that may not be up to the standard they or we expect? Obviously not!
As for getting facts right, why dont you accept others have a perfectly good right to have an opinion and that opinion may well differ from yours? You seem to have a bit of history of going off on one!
