About this listen

It takes a special sort of courage to serve in midget submarines, and Lieutenant David Seaton, commanding officer of XE16, needs no reminding of the perils involved. The little X-craft with their four-man crews have been used against heavy enemy surface units and important harbour installations. But in 1944, with the Allies poised for an invasion through France, a new and more hazardous role is given to Seaton's flotilla.

Wonderfully written re Naval essence. 15 word minimal is most often more than necessary in my opinion

Unnecessary romantic focus

The details of X craft operation were quite interesting along with the responsibilities of each member of the crew but the love interest plots were rather lame and predictable.
