Waterline: Gunboats for Sale

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

David Fairhall and Penny Bowles cover the world of ships, boats, and the sea.

What is it like on board the fastest warship in the world? Who first thought of making a 70 m.p.h. patrol boat built of wood and powered by three gas turbine engines? Waterline reports from the South Coast shipyard which has five navies queueing up to buy Britain's marine best-seller at £600,000 a time.
