Four Classic Episodes of Nautical Mayhem on Board HMS Troutbridge.

The Smuggling Spy
A Crisp Romance
Pertwee Posted to Portsmouth
Tug of War

All at sea in the Senior Service were conniving Petty Officer Jon Pertwee and silly-ass Sub-Lieutenant Leslie Phillips, whilst below decks Ronnie Barker was just about working his passage as (Un)Able Seaman 'Fatso' Johnson.

So climb aboard and join the merry crew in these four classic capers, as the long arm of the law extends itself towards a spot of illicit supply-running, a certain CPO's reputation is threatened by the revelations of a local barmaid, Pertwee applies for a transfer to Captain Povey's staff, and Troutbridge is called upon to escort a visiting dignitary in to Portsmouth.
