History

"LIEUTENANT KATE MCGREGOR, the Executive Officer of HMAS Hammersley, is cool, beautiful, reserved, always aiming for a perfect 10 in everything she does. She was nicknamed ‘Princess Perfect’ at ADFA, and won the Sword for best Navy cadet in her final year. She is a woman of secrets, a woman on the run from her own past, a woman who has reinvented herself and never wants to go back to where she came from.

Kate comes to the cramped life aboard Hammersley from the relative comfort of a big ship, and is having to learn a whole new set of skills. As XO on a Patrol Boat she will lead boarding parties onto stinking fishing boats, work closely with senior sailors like the Coxswain and Buffer, and share a cabin with the Navigation Officer, Lieutenant Nikki Caetano, who seems to think she’s the CO’s favourite daughter and that Kate is her new and wicked stepmother." Upon boarding she found that her new CO is an old flame of hers. (Info sourced from www.ninemsn.com.au/seapatrol)

Personal life

At ADFA (Australian Defence Force Academy) while doing a course to further her career in the RAN, she formed a brief relationship with (now Lieutenant Commander) Mike Flynn. He broke it off for unknown reasons, and eventually she ended up serving as his executive officer on HMAS Hammersley.

She seems to be quite compassionate, especially regarding Nav and ET's complicated situation.

In the second series she finds it hard to keep the truth about loving the captain of her ship after he is in an accident leaving her in charge of the ship.
