I don't know why, but I found last nights offering a bit more watchable than most of the earlier ones. But I found myself wondering when this thing was filmed. There were numerous references to the USS "Cole". She was attacked in Aden quite a long time ago. So if the film is "x" no. of years old how does that relate to other events that occurred later? I can only assume that the film is a cobbled together bunch of episodes filmed over a number of months or even years. But that would mean that the female Eng. Officer had been aboard "for ever". Someone put me straight here! It's also a bit odd that totally new voices and tattoos are appearing. In previous programmes we had seen the ship spending quite a lot of time in hot weather without any (or much) flight activity. Now we see a lot of fish-belly-white bodies gathering on the flight deck. I think there has been a massive crew change somewhere down the line, and we as viewers are being "conned" a little. Nice to see my old ship "Fort Austin" making an appearance. But again, if a bit of machinery breaks down during a RAS ...and it happens to all ships...why on earth was the RAS sort of cancelled? Why not just switch to a Vertrep using the Lusts Merlins? Also, I have never seen a major RFA without a flight embarked during a deployment. Something not right here, methinks. BY.
