Presenter Desmond Hamill is aboard HMS Gloucester to see the Royal Navy's sophisticated damage control procedures first-hand. This film paints a unique picture of the Royal Navy's professional fire-fighting capabilities and uses on board footage of the 1967 tragedy aboard the USS Forestall to show the devastating potential of fire at sea. Hamill also looks at the Royal Navy's ability to deal with flooding on-board and examines the vital role of the supply ships that keep our fighting fleet afloat.
