Prayer for the Ship, Douglas Reeman's first published novel in 1958, is the story of 'his war' as
a young officer in the Royal Navy during the Second World War. North Sea, 1940s ... Memories are
short on HMS Royston ? they have to be. As mother ship to a battered, war-torn bunch of MTBs and
MGBs she must carry out her vital role whatever the conditions, whatever the risks. Sub-Lieutenant
Royce's predecessor has only been dead forty-eight hours, and already the crew has forgotten him.
Now with only three months' sea-experience behind him, Royce must learn the job the hard way ?
in the tough school of combat.
