I doubt if anyone would be interested but below is a link to a video a couple of yanks made for my ship while we were deployed in the northern gulf days before the start of the war in ’03.

They came onboard for a day to video a typical day so we could show our families what we had been doing for 7 months when we got home. The fire is an exercise but that is about the normal pace for a real incident, if you rush you have accidents! The boats we used were amazing for boarding ops. During the trip we found quite a lot of boats that were carrying/exporting/importing illegal oil and/or weapons (the crafty sods used to travel on the borders of Iraqi waters so we couldn’t board them then make a run for it at the last minute) but not much used by the smugglers could out run a pacific 24.
