It is 1916 and Britain is at war with Germany. Toby Kerrell is serving as First-lieutenant on the 'Libyan' in the North Sea. This book tells of his experiences before,during and after the Battle of Jutland. This was the last great sea battle to take place between two opposing fleets. (these being the British Grand Fleet and the German High Seas Fleet)
Later in the book Kerrell is promoted to Captain of a destroyer and while on patrol,sinks an enemy submarine.
These are just a few of the incidents which befall him in the course of duty.
This is an extremely exciting and readable story of wartime naval life. ( )
