“a battleship or as in the photo a submarine?”
Apologies, Reeman served mainly on torpedo boats from 1941. This is referring to a battleship.. need to see book.

1941. Captain Richard Ches naye, DSC, RN, recalled to the Navy after several unwanted years on the beach, is given command of HMS Saracen. Reunited, Chesnaye and Saracen face the problems of a modern war for which. superficially, neither seems well equipped.
