The Cruel Sea

As World War II begins, Cmdr. Ericson is assigned to the convoy escort HMS Compass Rose, crewed by officers and men fresh out of training. The winter seas make life miserable, and 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.
