The Cruel Sea
At the outset of World War II, Cmdr. Ericson is tasked with leading a crew of newly minted officers and enlisted men on a mission to convoy escort HMS Compass Rose. In addition to the hardships of the harsh winter seas, the crew often find themselves unable to retaliate after rescuing victims of U-boat raids. The skipper and his first officer form a close relationship due to the shared experience of traumatic incidents both on and off the ship.
