Naval life in Devon goes under the spotlight in a new BBC documentary that goes behind the scenes at Devonport Royal Naval base - from humanitarian efforts to things that go bump in the night.
'Shipmates' is a warts-and-all documentary, showing what work and play in the Royal Navy is really like, both ashore and afloat.
It follows the lives of several key characters, especially on board the frigate HMS Chatham during her deployment to the Gulf, and also her involvement in humanitarian operations after the Boxing Day tsunami in Sri Lanka.
