6	!!Mike 'CO' Flynn (Ian Stenlake)
7	--> There is nothing I value more than honesty, courage and a good throat ripping debate.
8	* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Deserves his reputation and shows it when he is given a chance.
9	* BenevolentBoss[=/=]ReasonableAuthorityFigure: genuinely cares for his crew.
10	* TheCaptain of ''Hammersley''
11	* GreenEyedMonster: Over Kate. Despite being the one who ended the relationship whenever Kate gets close to another man he gets jealous. It becomes obvious even to him with Kate's [[spoiler: first]] relationship with Jim and comes to a head with 2Dads' rumour about Buffer and Kate.
12	%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold:
13	* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: willing to bend the rules to accomplish a mission or do what's best for his crew.
14	-->This isn't a mission so I'm not briefing you. [Proceeds to instruct them on gathering information ashore on a human trafficking operation that ''Hammersley'' isn't tasked with investigating.]
15	* UptightLovesWild: Has reputation as a cowboy and falls for by-the-book Kate.
16
17	!!Kate 'XO' [=McGregor=] (Lisa [=McCune=])
18	--> I am the only logical choice for this mission, and you know that.
19	%%* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking:
20	* ActionGirl[=/=]DamselOutOfDistress: Whenever she's in trouble, all the bad guys tend to forget that she's in the Navy and leads a team of manly men who respect her. The number of times she's in danger and can't handle it can be counted on one hand.
21	* DefrostingIceQueen: When first posted to ''Hammersley,'' she has some trouble fitting in because she's used to the more formal culture of larger warships.
22	* GoodWithNumbers: Is a qualified navigator and taught an advanced course in the subject.
23	* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:has an affair with a merchant ship captain who turns out to be the BigBad in Season 1, and goes after him with a vengeance when she realizes what he's up to.]]
24	%%* LadyOfWar:
25	* LoveMartyr: [[spoiler:Is left by Mike before the series begins without an explanation when she seems to have fallen half in love with him and is still bitter about it when she is posted to ''Hammersley''. She suffers a huge Heroic BSOD when he seems to have been blown up in the series 4 final and has to hold it together for the crew. Mike is found to be alive, but ends up staying on ''Hammersley'' and when she applies for a promotion it is hinted that she is turned down because of their relationship. She ends the relationship for Mike's benefit. By this time Mike has fallen for her completely and is aware of the damage he is doing to her and tries to make up for it.]]
26	* NumberTwo: "XO" stands for "executive officer." Often shortened to "X."
27	** MeaningfulName: As revealed in the first episode, Kate and Mike had a romantic relationship that ended before she was posted to ''Hammersley,'' so Mike's "X" is also his "ex."
28	* UptightLovesWild: Is a by-the-book ice queen who falls for cowboy Mike.
29
30	!!Nicole (Nikki) "Nav" Caetano (Creator/SaskiaBurmeister)
31	* ActionGirl: A mild example since she is rarely in any fights, but when she is she holds her own.
32	* BrainyBrunette[=/=]GoodWithNumbers: the ship's navigator, and very good at her job.
33	-->'''Mike:''' Nav, mark the buoy’s position on radar.
34	-->'''Nav:''' It’s already marked, sir.
35	-->'''Mike:''' Just once I’d like to get in ahead of you,
36	-->'''Nav:''' [Laughs.] In your dreams, sir.
37	* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler: very much wants to hold the Robsons and Campbell Fulton responsible for ET's death.]]
38	%%* PutOnABus
39	* {{Tsundere}}: She loves ET, but they can't act on the relationship because of rules against fraternization between shipmates. ET's reputation and antics drive her nuts.
40
41	!!Pete 'Buffer' Tomaszewski (Jeremy Lindsay Taylor)
42	--> Don't call me "sir," I work for a living.
43	%%* TheBigGuy:
44	%%* BoisterousBruiser:
45	* DeadpanSnarker: gets many of the best lines.
46	* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler: After Ray Walsman orders one of his mercenaries to kill Buffer, Buffer is ''very'' invested in bringing him down.]]
47	* PapaWolf: To the crew. Mike has to make it clear occasionally (when they've got the person who's involved with the injury) that they can't get bruises from falling down the stairs. Particularly protective of Nav.
48	%%* PutOnABus:
49	* SergeantRock: "Buffer" is slang for "bosun," the most senior NCO on the ship.
50	* SubordinateExcuse: Sort of. The majority of women he shows interest are all officers. In particular, has an unrequited crush on Nav.
51
52	!!Andy 'Charge' Thorpe (John Batchelor)
53	--> You steer the ship, I'll take care of the engines.
54	%%* ABNegative:
55	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Is one of the nicest members of the crew, but when he gets angry or someone he likes is in danger or hurt, watch out...
56	* TheEngineer: in his role as Chief Marine Technician, he is responsible for the ship's engines and mechanical systems. "Charge" is the slang term for this role.
57	%%* FatherNeptune:
58	%%* ParentalSubstitute: To 2Dads.
59	* WhenYouComingHomeDad: regrets that his job took him away from his children and led to failure of his marriage.
60
61	!!Chris 'Swain' Blake (Matthew Holmes)
62	* TheDriver: "Swain" is short for "coxswain," the main person behind the ship's wheel.
63	* HappilyMarried: The birth of his child is a first-season subplot.
64	* TheMedic: Pulls double duty as the ship’s primary medic.
65
66	!!Robert 'RO' Dixon (Kristian Schmid)
67	* AbusiveParents: When RO seems to have little reaction to the word his father has died, Kate and Mike assume he's in denial. When confronted, Robert reveals he's actually ''relieved'' as his father was an abusive drunk and refuses to attend the man's funeral.
68	* AmbiguousDisorder: He has a very black and white view of the world, and when asked if this was true he responded "I'm not racist." Then there's his believing Bomber fancied him after she gave him a peck on the cheek, and him not wanting to take credit for saving her life because she told him not to go near her.
69	* BadassBookworm: Might be the least physical man on the boat, but don't cross him.
70	* CampCook: When Chefo (season 1) or Bomber (seasons 2-3) are away. Anything the regular cook might have done wrong is instantly forgiven.
71	-->Three months working in a cafe in Darlinghurst doesn’t qualify me to feed these morons.
72	* CantHoldHisLiquor: drives a golf cart into a pond after a few too many.
73	* CommunicationsOfficer: "RO" stands for "Radio Operator"
74	* CunningLinguist: Has picked up bits and pieces after years of working on patrol boats.
75	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Isn't willing to go out of his way to help people when he easily can, is blunt to the point of rudeness and doesn't socialize easily. However, he repeatedly shows that he has a heart and after a while his lack of social interaction with the rest of the crew worries him enough that he begins to improve.
76	* LonersAreFreaks: Has a problem with this perception though he doesn't do much to discourage it.
77	--> '''Kate:''' For a communicator he's strangely uncommunicative.
78	%%* TerrifiedofGerms:
79	%%* VitriolicBestBuds: With 2Dads.
80
81	!!Josh 'ET' Holiday (David Lyons)
82	* ABNegative: Saves Charge's life at one point.
83	* TheCharmer: Has a well-deserved reputation for multiple affairs--so much so that he has to give Nav a vow of celibacy to show her he's serious about their relationship.
84	* MrFixit: "ET" is short for "electronics technician."
85
86	!!Toby 'Chefo' Jones (Josh Lawson)
87	-->I'm only going to give this advice once. Do not throw up in your mask.
88	* PutOnABus: not part of the crew after season 1.
89	* TheMedic: also trained as a medic; backs up Swain in this role.
90	* TeamChef: in season 1.
91
92	!!Billy 'Spider' Webb (Jay Ryan)

95	%%* HappilyAdopted:
96	* TooDumbToLive: Yeah Spider, go and change the biggest badass' tattoo choice to "XO" in a heart when he's asleep. You're lucky Buffer just put your head into the washing machine.
97
98	!!Rebecca 'Bomber' Brown (Kirsty Lee Allan)
99	-->Charge, this is real man’s quiche – bacon, sausage, barbeque sauce, splash of Tabasco. Put whickers on your whiskers. Or in Spider’s case, it may bring on puberty.
100	%%* TheLadette:
101	* PutOnABus: [[spoiler:Because of her romance with 2Dads, she's transferred from ''Hammersley.'']]
102	* TheSquadette: Among the [=NCOs=] during the second and third seasons.
103	* TeamChef: seasons 2 and 3.
104
105	!!Leo '2Dads' Kosov-Meyer (Nikolai Nikolaeff)
106	-->'''Kate:''' 2 Dads, I can’t think of anyone on the ship dumber than you are, but clearly there is someone.
107	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Is able to tell that a stall owner is selling stolen property just by looking at it and then uses dud money to buy their monkey to smuggle it back to Australia without going through customs on the ''Hammersley''.
108	* TheGamblingAddict: Always finds a poker game but cheats occasionally which is when his problems start.
109	* HeroWorshipper: 2Dads has some of this to Dutchy in series 4.

121
122	!!Jessica 'Gap Girl' Bird. (Danielle Horvat)
123	-->I know all about the ‘no snogging your shipmates’ rule, but there is no rule that says you can’t check them out.
124	* TheIngenue: Has shades of this.
125	* TeamChef: seasons 4 and 5.
126

129
130	!!Steve Marshall (Creator/SteveBisley)
131	-->Look, nothing personal, Mike, but if you want to dabble in these grey areas, don’t be surprised if Canberra sends a bit of black and white.

133
