Devonport: Inside the Royal Navy

Devonport stands as Western Europe’s largest naval base, home to the bulk of the surface fleet and the Royal Navy’s Trafalgar-class nuclear-powered submarines. As a pivotal hub for training, it also supplies, mends, and refits all kinds of naval craft. In this brand-new six-part Quest commission we follow the lives of the people who work at Devonport, focusing on the individuals, their relationships, and the unusual challenges they face daily while running one of Europe’s most prominent Royal Navy bases. From coordinating a VIP Royal visit to preparing the Armada Ball, one of the year’s biggest events, and the daily maintenance of ships, crews, and guns, if you want to see how the navy does its job, come to Devonport.
