A frank account of life on the ocean wave in one of Her Majesty's ships.
A series of ten programmes 6: Officer Territory
' No young officer, who's any good, ever feels he's got enough responsibility. He reckons the silly old b ... s who are running the ship aren't half as good as he would be, if he were the boss. I think that's quite a healthy sign. It becomes unhealthy if he thinks there's nothing he can learn.'
So says the Captain, the most senior officer aboard HMS Ark Royal, in a film which contrasts his thoughts and duties with those of the most junior sub-lieutenant in his care.
