The Mission
Captain Ryan Ramsey and his 130 men prepare for a mission that could see them stay underwater for 100 days, patrolling the pirate-infested waters surrounding the Horn of Africa. But then the plan changes and the Libyan uprising means the sub has to plot a new course towards Tripoli, where she and the crew will protect civilians caught up in the conflict. On a more personal level, one young able seaman is called to a military tribunal before the captain's table.

As Libyan rebels take up arms against the Gaddafi regime, HMS Turbulent has been diverted to join the NATO operation off the country's coast. The crew must be ready to fire her Tomahawk missiles at any time but there are problems on board, first a sewage leak, which is a mission-threatening mechanical failure. Meanwhile, young submariner Buster is in trouble again and Richard awaits the Captain's verdict on his leadership skills.

Chasing the Enemy
HMS Turbulent makes its way toward the troubled waters of the Middle East, becoming the first British submarine to pass through the Suez Canal since the Egyptian revolution, a nervous moment for all concerned. Arriving at the Bab el Mendeb Strait between Somalia and Yemen, Captain Ryan Ramsey and his crew have to conduct anti-piracy operations throughout the night. At the same time, there are new recruits to be trained for action, while Richard and Timmo both find themselves at a turning point in their careers.
