The Cruel Sea

This movie remained hidden from me until late one night on the disney channel. It is very accurate in its depiction of life aboard a Flower class corvette. These ships wore out men quicker than combat. The scenes in heavy seas are very true to life.

The depiction of tedious patrolling interspersed with brief and vicsious action is also very accurate. The crew comprised of a few proffessionals and the bulk civilians just removed tells the greatest story of all. The average citizen taking up arms in defence of his country and freedom.

A really good movie worth watching.
