Warship (1973) S04E07 - Counter Charge

Описание: Hero has been away from Britain for 207 days. On the day before her arrival at Pompey, performance reviews are in progress. Holt is recommending Napier for promotion but tells him he needs to listen more often to advice from others. Napier is commending Petty Officer Asdale for his charitable work. That night, when the canteen is supposed to be locked, containing the proceeds from days of roaring trade, Fuller is passing and discovers Asdale inside holding the money. He phones MAA Burnett to report the break-in. However, Asdale states that it was he who found Fuller inside, and Fuller had grabbed the phone first. Napier and Monty conduct an investigation, with Napier acting in his typically bombastic way and ignoring any advice from Monty. After reviewing various evidence, including Napier's missing gold lighter found in the canteen, but which was a model also owned by Fuller, and the financial positions of the two crew members (Asdale being well-off, and Fuller struggling), Napier is inclined to blame Fuller. However, Holt in the meantime has perused the service records of the two crew members. He discovers that Asdale was passed over for promotion in a previous posting on the advice of Napier, who had forgotten about it entirely. Napier's finances are not much better than Fuller's. Holt concludes that Asdale had intended to frame Napier by leaving the cash in his cabin. Holt has a chat with Asdale, showing him that Napier had recommended him for a British Empire Medal, and persuades him to make a truthful statement.
