Season overview
The second season of the Australian drama Sea Patrol premiered on the Nine Network on March 31, 2008, and concluded its thirteen-episode run on June 23, 2008. Airing on Monday nights, the season marks a significant transition for the crew of the HMAS Hammersley. Following the decommissioning of the original Fremantle class patrol boat depicted in the final scenes of the first season, the crew transitions to a new vessel. This new HMAS Hammersley is an Armidale class boat, a change that reflects the real-life modernization of the Australian fleet. Alongside the introduction of the new ship, the season features the debut of a new main character, Able Seaman Rebecca Bomber Brown, who joins the crew as the boat's cook. While the Nine Network marketed the season under the title Sea Patrol II: The Coup, the individual episodes did not carry specific subtitles and were officially categorized as episodes 14 through 26 of the broader series. The narrative continues to follow the lives of the crew members as they operate the patrol boat for the Royal Australian Navy, maintaining their duties within the established framework of the series.
