Focuses on a series of bitter and tragic battles fought by the RCN in mid-Atlantic during the latter half of 1942. Events of those 6 months constituted the crisis of Canada's naval war. The fall-out from this crisis, its impact on the operational deployment of the fleet, and the violent upheaval it caused in Ottawa are key parts of this story. Portrays both Canada and the RCN as dynamic elements in the struggle for the convoys against the marauding U-boats of World War II.
