The Cruel Sea (1953)
From Amazon:
Monsarrat's brilliant best seller comes surging to life. The World War II adventures of a British convoy escort ship and its officers. At the start of World War II, Cmdr. Ericson is assigned to convoy escort HMS Compass Rose with inexperienced officers and men just out of training. The winter seas make life miserable enough, but the men must also harden themselves to rescuing survivors of U-Boat attacks, while seldom able to strike back. Traumatic events afloat and ashore create a warm bond between the skipper and his first officer. Atmospheric sea footage. "A well deserved salute to the Royal Navy's little ships." (read more)
