The Cruel Sea
At the beginning of World War II, Cmdr. Ericson is given the job of escorting the HMS Compass Rose in a convoy with new officers and men who have just finished training. The winter seas make life hard enough, but the men also have to get used to saving people who have been attacked by U-boats while they are rarely able to fight back. Traumatic events at sea and on land bring the skipper and his first officer closer together.
