Short summary
Aliens attempt to destroy a naval ship dumping toxic waste into the ocean but their craft is shot down. Straker is surprised to read the news of the incident as it was not a SHADO operation, and goes to see Admiral Sheringham at the Admiralty. Sheringham is not co-operative and Straker suspects a cover-up. He sends Foster to see if he can get more information from Sarah, the Admiral's secretary.
While the ninth episode broadcast, this was actually the twentieth filmed.
The warship is shown has the pennant number D06, making her the guided missile destroyer HMS Hampshire. Built 1959-1963, she was decommissioned in 1977 and sold for scrap in 1979, well before the time period in which UFO is set.
The warship uses a Sea Slug missile to destroy the UFO in the beginning of the episode. In reality, a Sea Slug was only ever fired once at a hostile aircraft, in 1982 during the Falklands War. It missed.
