The Last Ship is the television series adaptation of the 1988 William Brinkley novel of the same name. The series follows scientists and the crew of a US Navy destroyer who discover that they are the last hope for humanity as they attempt to find a cure to a worldwide pandemic while trying to defend themselves against those who wish to take their findings by force. The series, which premiered on June 22, 2014 in the US on the TNT network, is executive produced by Michael Bay and Jonathan Mostow directed the pilot episode. As with many Michael Bay productions, the series received cooperation from the US Navy and Department of Defense and many sequences were filmed aboard active duty US Navy destroyers. The cast includes Eric Dane, Adam Baldwin, and Rhona Mitra.
The following weapons were used in the television series The Last Ship:
Rifles
M4A1 Carbine
The M4A1 used by the personnel aboard the USS Nathan James. Members of the US Navy's Mountain Warfare Unit can be seen using M4A1 carbines fitted with EOTech red dot sights to defend themselves against Russian helicopters in the premiere episode "Phase Six" (S1E01). US Navy sailors including the CMDR Tom Chandler (Eric Dane) are armed with the M4A1 in "Welcome to Gitmo" (S1E02).
HK416
Heckler & Koch HK416s are used by members of the Mountain Warfare Unit.
AKMSU
AKMSU rifles are seen in the hands of Russian operatives in the premiere episode "Phase Six" (S1E01).
AK-103
Russian troops carry AK-103 assault rifles in "Dead Reckoning" (S1E03).
SVD Dragunov Sniper Rifle
An SVD Dragunov is seen in the hands of a Russian operative in the premiere episode "Phase Six" (S1E01).
M16A4
In "We'll Get There" (S1E04), Sailors aboard the Nathan James use M16A4 rifles fitted with what appear to be Mk 87 Mod 1 line-throwing adapters to launch parachutes into the air in order to propel the ship forward using wind power after the engines fail. Although these line launchers are used by the US Navy and can be attached to an M16 (if the flash hider is removed), they are generally only used with the M14 due to the higher pressures generated by a 7.62x51mm blank round.
Handguns
Members of the Mountain Warfare Unit are armed with the SIG-Sauer P226 Navy in the series.
Beretta 92FS
The Beretta 92FS is seen throughout the series.
Beretta Cougar
A Russian officer is armed with a Beretta Cougar in "Dead Reckoning" (S1E03). Adm. Ruskov (Ravil Isyanov) is later seen using the pistol.
Smith & Wesson Model 642
Quincy Tophet (Sam Spruell) pulls a Smith & Wesson Model 642 Bodyguard in "Dead Reckoning" (S1E03).
Machine Guns
M240B Machine Gun
An M240 machine gun is seen being fired from the Nathan James in "Phase Six" (S1E01). M240's are also mounted on Navy RHIBs.
M240D Machine Gun
A UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter can be seen fitted with two door-mounted M240D machine guns.
M60 Machine Gun
A Russian operative is seen firing what appears to be an M60 built up to resemble the M60E3 machine gun in the premiere episode "Phase Six" (S1E01).
Other
Phalanx CIWS
A Phalanx CIWS are seen as one of the defensive weapons of the USS Nathan James (these sequences were actually filmed aboard the active Navy destroyer the USS Dewey). The CIWS is seen being used to ward off attacking Russian helicopters in the premiere episode "Phase Six" (S1E01).
M242 Bushmaster chaingun
An M242 Bushmaster chaingun can be seen as one of the weapons of the USS Nathan James and is used to ward off attacking Russian helicopters in the premiere episode "Phase Six" (S1E01).
