Summary: Episode of a Navy programme intended to provide a news service and discussion forum for all naval personnel.
Description: The presenter visits Brunei, where 40 Commando Royal Marines was conducting jungle warfare training, and interviews various British servicemen on the Brunei Navy and its connections with the United Kingdom. Following a series of short news clips, the presenter discusses the problems presented by the 'lean manning' (smaller crew) arrangements in the Navy's new Type 23 frigates, then just coming into service. Junior and senior ratings give their perspective, as do the Captain of HMS Norfolk (F.230), the first Type 23 to enter service, and Commander-in-Chief Fleet, Admiral Sir Benjamin Bathurst.
