Sea Patrol is an Australian television drama set on board HMAS Hammersley, a fictional patrol boat of the Royal Australian Navy. The series focuses on the ship and the lives of its crew members.
Production
Filmed on actual patrol boats—no green screens, just real seasickness.
Acting
Lisa McCune carries the whole navy on her back.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The fictional HMAS Hammersley was played by two real ships: HMAS Hammersley itself and later HMAS Broome and HMAS Launceston, because the Navy kept reclaiming their boats for actual work.
Sea Patrol is essentially Australia's answer to NCIS but with worse funding and better accents, and it ran for five seasons purely because Australians will watch literally anything set near water.
