* HarsherInHindsight: The show was produced as the Royal Australian Navy was transitioning from the ''Fremantle'' class to the ''Armidale'' class and the crew marvels at how much more advanced the new ''Hammersley'' is. However, design flaws, poor maintenance, and overuse rendered the class short-lived and the Australian government accelerated the search for a replacement design.
* NightmareFuel: Red Sky Morning. Hammersley comes across a boat where the only two crew members are badly injured. They say that a third crew member went [[AxCrazy insane]], and tried to kill them. XO, Buffer, and 2Dads are left behind as Hammersley returns to port for repairs. Buffer and 2Dads are locked in the walk-in freezer, where they nearly perish, while XO [[NothingIsScarier is getting really jumpy]].
** [[FromBadToWorse And then the stalker reveals himself.]] [[BigDamnHeroes Thankfully, Hammersley returns just in time to rescue them.]]
*** Somehow, the [[BaitAndSwitch stalker seals himself in a body bag, and dumps the body of a crew member he killed earlier where the crew will find it.]] This leads to the stalker getting aboard Hammersley. XO gets [[JumpScare the fright of her life]] when the stalker bursts from the body bag and tries one last time to kill her.
