Warship (1973 TV series)

|ShortSummary=''Hero'' is preparing for an inspection, to be conducted by Admiral Staunton and staff officer operations Mark Nialls. Glenn and Nialls became enemies years ago when Glenn dissuaded a woman from marrying Nialls, and Glenn is expecting a difficult "evolutions", where the crew is tested with unconventional problems. While ''Hero'''s officers are trying to obtain information, Nialls drops false hints; that the Admiral drinks only "planters rocket", which he discovered in Bermuda; and that he desperately wants the autograph of Lily Bevis, an ageing actress. MAA Harry Burnett, who has replaced Heron, is dispatched with Fuller to obtain the autograph. Meanwhile, Peek and Kiley attempt in vain to find the recipe for planters rocket. Attending a naval reception, Peek obtains a glass of the drink from the barman, who refuses to divulge the recipe. Kiley subsequently gives it to the captain of HMS ''Zephyr'' to keep him away from Diana, a girl Glenn is interested in: the captain collapses after drinking it. Glenn is misinformed about Diana by Nialls, and offers her dinner and drives her home, which turns out to be at [[Northwood Headquarters|Northwood]], 80 miles away. After suffering mishaps he doesn't return to ''Hero'' for several hours, by which time Peek is unconscious after trying to recreate planters rocket. Burnett and Fuller also arrive back late, after Burnett has spent many hours playing games such as [[Battleship (game)|Battleships]] and [[Snakes and Ladders]] with Bevis, but having obtained the autograph. However, the next day, a ship is needed to respond to an emergency, and since ''Zephyr'' is out of action due to the incapacity of her captain, ''Hero'' is sent, cancelling the inspection.
