Line 2:
''[[Sea Patrol]]'' is an Australian television series that aired between 2007 and 2011. It focused on the crew of the HMAS ''Hammersley''. The first three seasons had their own [[Jigsaw Puzzle Plot]] that is slowly revealed over the course of the season, though each episode was more focused on giving one or two crew members their [[A Day in the Limelight|day in the limelight.]] The fourth season ditched the [[Jigsaw Puzzle Plot]] and just focused on the characters. The fifth season went back to the [[Jigsaw Puzzle Plot]] of the first three seasons.
 
The series has been aired in many countries. In the USA it can be found advertised on Amazon Prime though unfortunately unavailable for watching at the present time (Amazon does change-ups in its video line-up like that).

Line 63:
* [[Disposable Sex Worker]]: Poor women looking for a better life are force to be this and are the centre of an episode in the 3 season.
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: Bird
* [[Double Standard]]: Two-Dads arranges to pair off a drunken RO with a cross-dresser without RO knowing about it until he accidentally feels the ''parts'' while dancing. Two-dads thinks this is somehow a funny practical joke but if something similar was done to a female it would be sexual harassment.
**Averted in another episode. RO is [[Slipping a Mickey|Mickeyed]] on shore leave. This is not funny at all.
* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: Poor RO...2Dads is a naughty boy.
* [[The Drunken Sailor]]: Of course there's shore leave but while Buffer and 2Dads took on two dangerous men and won poor RO 'needs' to stay away from the booze. The poor golf cart...
Line 77 ⟶ 79:
* [[Going Down with the Ship]]: Poor Swaine nearly has this fate after a bad run in with some diamond smugglers.
* [[Good with Numbers]]: Kate and Nikki are qualified navigators. Charge, ET, 2Dads, Swaine and RO would have to be good at maths to do their jobs. Mike is implied to be but there isn't much reason for his to show it.
* [[Gunboat Diplomacy]]: Less often than you might think although ''Hammersley'' is a boat and has, well, [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|guns]] on board. Most of its missions deal with normal crime. International politics does have a part, notably in the second season.
* [[Happily Married]]: Swaine
* [[Hero Worshipper]]: 2Dads has some of this to Dutchy in series 4.
