Summary: The frigate enters Jebel Ali and secures. Crew record messages for friends and family. Jupiter leaves port to rendezvous with HMS Orangeleaf for a replenishment.
Description: HA.LS over the harbour at Jebel Ali as HMS Jupiter (F.60) - a very uneven pan shows two tankers alongside. A tug is standing by to receive the frigate. Break. LA to Lieutenant-Commander (unidentified) on bridge wing as he directs the securing of the ship. Ratings on flightdeck haul taut and belay rope to bollards and unship a section of the ship's guardrail (not without some difficulty). A gangway is brought up. Break. Head and shoulders study of Ernest Fellows, radio supervisor on Jupiter - he describes his job and sends greetings to his family. Prompted by the cameraman he goes through the routine again, adding his opinion that the situation in the Gulf is stable but "could get worse at any time". A/B Gareth Rice is interviewed - most of what he says is lost between a heavy Welsh accent and an unbaffled microphone. A trio of Portsmouth crewmen - Jackson, McKennis and Headley - send regards to their families. They are followed by CPO Mike Hewers, and Marine Conning, interviewed holding his SAE 80. Sequence showing Jupiter's RAS with HMS Orangeleaf. The frigate closes on the port quarter and lowers a RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat). Jupiter's Lynx circles overhead. MS on forecastle as a line gun is prepared and fired. Crewman coils down light line. Fuel hose is hauled across the water gap from the tanker.
