Another somber WW II naval adventure for Lieutenant Donald Cameron, this time commanding an old light cruiser, Castile. All aboard--including Cameron--are men from previous commissions (""all old crocks together, in an old crock of a ship""), but no one, except for the skipper, knows their destination. The destination, it turns out, involves a pet project of Chruchill's--and German torpedo boats, hidden away in the port of Dieppe in Occupied France. As usual, there will be good action sequences and lots of authentic detail for war-at-sea nautical buffs.
