Yes James Cosmo did appear in the series Warship. He played a character Leading Regulator Fuller, IMDB lists 21 episodes.You beat me to it!Back in the 70s BBC made a series about a Leander class frigate called HMS Hero. HMS Phoebe (F42) played the main part, but according to Wik six other RN Leanders and RAN Derwent also played her.Warship (1973 TV series) - Wikipedia

Series One opening titles.
Episode written by Robert Homes my favourite Dr Who and Blake's Seven writer.
Trailer for the Series One DVD featuring Don Henderson
Ian Mackintosh one of the co-creators of the show went on to do The Sandbaggers.
Bryan Marshall who played Commander Alan Douglas Glenn HMS Hero's second commander was also the captain of HMS Ranger in The Spy Who Loved Me.
I remember watching the Blue Peter report that's mentioned in the Wikipaedia article.
Link to Series 4 Episode 11 that has Patrick Troughton as the guest star.
Around the same time David Troughton was appearing in the BBCTV series Wings which I recommend highly.
Can anyone confirm or deny whether James Cosmo was in Warship?
As does the USS Orlando from the same film.Does the USS Stingray from Down Periscope count?
I liked the captain's quarters fully stocked bar, and someone (coxswain?) had a nice 50s couch.No it was a studio set. https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/where-was-vigil-filmed-in-scotland/
The only a real Vanguard control room has been seen (HMS Vengeance) was the 2021 Channel 5 programme Trident: On Board Britain's Nuclear Submarine and even then the sensitive items like the sonar consoles were fuzzed out and it looked far more cramped and dark than any film set!
For what it's worth, I watched Series 3 & 4 at the time and he was the best thing in it. I watched the whole series on Youtube last year. He was still the best thing in it. He should have been in all 45 episodes. Mark Nialls (played by Donald Burton) HMS Hero's captain in Series 1 & 2 was the second best thing in it.Yes James Cosmo did appear in the series Warship. He played a character Leading Regulator Fuller, IMDB lists 21 episodes.
