Sea Patrol is the action packed new series that has Australians hooked and the critics raving. An average of 1.5 million viewers have tuned in to the first series on Channel Nine. A second series is about to start filming this month on the Far North Coast of Australia.Series One follows the lives of the crew of Navy patrol boat HMAS Hammersley as they battle to provide security, surveillance and protection for the world's largest island. Living and working on the edge, the crew face real danger, not only as they pursue murderers, drug smugglers, pirates and kidnappers, but also as they tackle extreme weather conditions and the most unpredictable oceans on earth. They are every day heroes doing an extraordinary job.

Season 1
Season 1, Episode 1: Welcome Aboard Original Air Date-5 July 2007
Twenty-four sailors from every walk of life, of every age and temperament, living literally cheek-by-jowl for week after week, away from family and friends sometimes for months at a time. All crammed in an elderly 40 metre metal hulled boat - in seas of all conditions with temperatures often in the 30's. It's a pressure cooker that can bring out the best, and sometimes the worst, in all of them - man and woman alike. It calls upon reserves of devotion to duty, tolerance, obedience and of course humour, way beyond that which most people possess.
Season 1, Episode 2: What Lies Beneath Original Air Date-12 July 2007
Returning to Bright Island with two federal cops to investigate the biologist's suspicious poisoning, the Hammersley finds captain's flirt Ursula continues her research. Then they follow up on a sophisticated radio buoy they accidentally located and proves booby-trapped. It's denoted by radio from a ship they track to arrest two cocaine smugglers. One of them is worried his brother, who approaches by speedboat, may also get killed. XO shamelessly tricks and lies, later admits to Flyn she only serves out of personal ambition. Towel-only, flirtatious ET seems seductive ...

Chief petty officer Andy 'Charge' Thorpe has something irritating an eye. Petty officer Pete 'Buffer' Tomashevski gets refugee Samira to talk about the scum firing a flair at them and takes their side, unlike Robert 'RO' Dixon, who grumbles he must fill in as cook. Billy 'Spider' Webb is ...
Season 1, Episode 5: Under the Radar Original Air Date-2 August 2007

The search involves some fishermen who struck a friendship with Spider.

Flyn's psychological insight gets out of Connor that his mate Tim James wasn't with him, in fact not even in the boat.

Season 1, Episode 9: Under the Hammer Original Air Date-30 August 2007
During Spider's night watch, a rival Navy ship's crew sneaked aboard to steal the Hammer's mascot 'Thor'.

His ship is found moored on the Tiwi islands, where he hides in the crocodile-infested mangrove swamp. A badly bitten agent (Carl Davies) is the first to be found.

They recognize a tourist cruise yacht and search for it.
