The Cruel Sea - BBC2 now

[Anton_Berg]

The film was a box office hit in the US, somewhat surprisingly.

Part of the book the crew do stay in New York for several weeks, quite a culture clash for many, with no war restrictions etc.

In which we serve was another classic, I watched with my grandad, well before I joined up…

He’d serve with Mountbatten and spoke very highly of him and upset when he was murdered…

“Sink the Bismarck”, “The Battle of the River Plate”. I love watching the old Navy films. Surprised there haven’t been more UK films / TV Series about Nelson, Spanish Armada, Jutland etc. We used to rule the waves!

Years ago when I first joined up I got a triple video cassette, Cruel Sea, Ice Cold in Alex and dambusters.

It was a great afternoon/evening in.
