About
HMS Suffolk is due for Flag Officer Sea Training in four weeks but an accident results in the dismissal of the executive officer and the resignation of the captain. His replacement, Commander Martin Brooke, attempts to get his vessel and crew ship-shape for final assessment.
The series was in development hell for several years and first broadcast on 7 July 2004. However, due to low ratings, it was removed after only three episodes, the remainder of the series going unaired. A DVD of all six episodes was released in December 2004.
