About this book

Destroyers searching the Mediterranean for submarines give Lewis R. Freeman's naval account its pace and close view of shipboard work. The opening places him aboard the Spark as a convoy attack sends a flotilla out to hunt. Wireless messages, lookout reports and orders from the bridge shape the action, while false alarms reveal how easily a bird or porpoise can resemble a threat at sea.

Conversations with sailors bring the fighting at Jutland into the story through their memories of damaged ships, collisions and rescue. Another account follows a prolonged pursuit in which a crew tracks a submarine's oil trail through darkness, even using its smell to recover the course. Readers interested in the First World War will find the practical details of patrol duty alongside the banter of men recalling danger. Freeman's attention to voices and small decisions makes naval operations feel like work carried out by particular crews.
