Description
HMS Royston is a ship that has seen it all. With its vital role to carry out in supporting a battered group of MTBs, she must navigate treacherous conditions and risks at every turn. Sub-Lieutenant Royce joins the crew of MTB 1991, bringing only three months' experience to the table. He must learn the job quickly - in the harsh school of combat. The demands of war are unforgiving, and life on board is short on comfort. Yet, it's here that young Royce will find out what it truly means to be a part of this elite group of naval warriors. Douglas Reeman, an author with firsthand experience of convoy duty in the Atlantic, Arctic, and North Sea, brings his unique perspective to this gripping tale. A story of naval warfare, set against the backdrop of World War II, A Prayer for the Ship is a gripping account of life on board a warship.
