This episode of TV2’s 1980 weekly after-school show features performances by resident band Kairo (covering the Doobie Brothers) and the Montgomery Sisters. In the field, Tracy Barr joins naval frigate HMNZS Waikato sailing from Devonport Naval Base, under the Auckland Harbour Bridge and up the Waitemata Harbour to collect ammunition at Point Kauri, and then out to sea for gunnery practice. On board, Tracy chats to the captain, a chef and a laundryman (who irons 150 shirts every day) — the results of the exercise seem to be a military secret.

Ha! That's me sitting next to Tracy. I am the blonde girl to her left. I was six. Next to me is my brother James and then my sister Katherine. Man that was exciting. It was filmed at the old Shortland Street studio. All the kids in the audience are Navy kids. I showed my six year old son Alex the footage. He doesn't believe it is me!
