i am currently serving onboard HMS ILLUSTRIOUS and to be called inexperienced sailors after 10 years of doing my job very well, find this statement very offensive and to add the reason for going into portland was nothing to do with the crew and was a problem with the ship!! i would like to add that if the goverment actually invested a bit more money into the Royal Navy instead of cutting back all the time these petty problems would not happen ALL the time after all we as Britain are surrounded by water and should it come to it civillians would depend on the Royal Navy!!!!
I am also currently serving on HMS ILLUSTRIOUS and feel insulted to be called inexperienced after spending 4 years on here watching the ship leave Rosyth dockyard and taking her through a full BOST which was passed with flying colours! To blame the ships company for the problems we have encountered and fixed ourselves might I add is also insulting. If you spoke to older members of ships company you would realise that over the last 4 years we have had very little time alongside due to being operational and this has meant that all the maintenance that is supposed to have been done has been left till later! If the government worried less about the new super carriers and looked after the ships and staff they already have serving they might not have retention problem that they have!
Maybe its time to think about not sending as much money/aid abroad? "Throw some more cash at the fleet" we could need it at anytime! Top ship, Top Crew, Top Fleet! ... lets keep it this way..
anybody can call a crew inexperienced, the perosn who worte the comment wants to try and do the job we do, with the limited amount of money the government gives the royal navy, what can they expect, the government wanst to think more about its ships and personnel they have now rather than the ships that are probably not gonna be built for another 20 years! the problems the ship had, were not the crews fault. again another member of the lusty crew, very insulted!
What worries me most is that the programme shows sailors letting their hair down when ashore and the Programmes Producer is quoted as saying 'If sailors bag off out of watch whilst ashore and it gets shown on TV and their wives and girlfriends see it - Tough!'
Admittedly they shouldnt be doing it, but with this type of attitude at the helm of the programme, it worries me exactly what light they intend to portray Britains most senior service in. Has there been any RN oversight by either the ships hierarchy or MOD ashore of the actual content of this programme?
Hey people its me the star off the show stocker just wondering if any of you could sort out a DVD for me cause it is hard to watch at sea if you could give me a email @
305-WAR18@a.dii.mod.uk also just like to add the 20mm broke because of the high winds it was not my fault
i watch it all the time and luv regardless of the comments and i am joinin soon

Please dont take any of the criticisms onboard, you all do an excellent job and without the RN and other forces not only would we not have a UK we might not even have a World or be able to thank you all. The politicians need to stop taking expenses and that money could be spent on our Armed Forces, there wages are high enough without this other subsidy.

i am also serving on Lusty and have been for the last 2 years and i find that that deployment was very emotional and for the TV crew to comment on things as civvi they dont really know about it very unfair and unjust im a AB and have to say the boys and girls work very hard to keep our ship at sea and afloat i think we should all get medals for Orion 08 and the Sh*t we had to put up with, the tv programe doesnot show how life really is in the RN and i hope poeple understand that...
As a former naval person, who served in carriers and smaller ships, I thought that Five's series "Warship" was one of the best, if not the best, since the BBC's "Sailor" in 1976. I did not see episodes 2 and 4 but the other four episodes were very good. I thought they gave a fair portrayal of life in the Andrew and that the Navy, the ship and her people came out of the series very well. This view was repeated by former naval colleagues and, more importantly, by civilian friends who watched the series. Some of the comments on this site were best not posted and binned after typing!
will the series Warship be available to purchase on DVD ? If so how much and from where ?
Thanking you in anticipation.
I really enjoyed the documentary and I personally thought it showed the crew as being Real people and especially the young guys on their first deployment when they entered the Suez Canal.
Just received a full Emmy preview DVD of the US Series just completed on TV there "Carrier" I am looking forward to seeing how it compares. I would love to see "Lusty" available on DVD.
Keep trying to find a young pen pal on board a Royal Navy ship, I never made it!! but while mates where always into planes and sci-fi it was only ever ships and the sea for me.

My husband was in the RN for 17 years and now my son has been in for nearly a year. The programme is excellent, it gives everyone watching an understanding of life onboard. It's a great way of advertsing for the Navy/Marines and brings our boys into people's home's. We all love it!!
Lustydog & other disgruntenlds, you are where you are because you want to be, stop complaining! If you don't like it you have the choice, be grateful, our Country is. Some of your people realy appreciate everything you and your friends have to put up with. Memorise, if you will on those who have gone before, some did not have the choice to serve, some died for thier service, Bob Atkinson, NUFF Z!
This is my navy now?.It,s like some homo erotic fatfest schoollyard.The captain of Balwark is as gay as a big gay thing, allways getting his shirt off (f***ing poser).In fact all the show is about is R.E.M.Fs getting half naked,showing off thier big fat gutts.Looks like it was produced by a gay or a woman.
P.S. Media consultants in the Marines W.T.F.
will this series be available on DVD. My son is in Canada and served on one of the ships. If so could you tell me how and where to purchase.
many thanks
