Ring On Main Engines

While the Allies celebrate the turning of the tide in the Battle of the Atlantic, Hitler broods over the possibility of defeat; but the master of the black arts is not beaten yet. His nefarious brooding gives forth a dark and strategically shattering concept, capture the biggest aircraft carrier in the North Atlantic and at the same time occupy the best placed U Boat base in the Northern Hemisphere. By a strange coincidence Commodore Barr, ‘Orca’s brilliant, if wilful leader and tactician extraordinaire is engaged in operations only miles from Hitler’s hastily assembled fleet, the biggest ever to threaten the might of the Royal Navy since Jutland. With just a handful of destroyers and two patrol boats, he now has to turn his considerable intellect from the rescue of the occupants of a small Norwegian village to combating something that, at the very least would prolong the War for another three years and, at worse, could force the Allies to cut cards with the ‘Devil’ himself.
