[QUOTE="Davydomes, post: 598336, member: 19992"] Based on the book by Nicholas Monseratt. He wrote it after his experiences as an officer on a flower Class corvette called HMS Campanula. He changed the name to HMS Compass Rose for the book because it was released too soon after the war and still fell under the official secrets act. One of Steven Speilbergs top 3 war films of all time. The reason I know this, is because my Dad served as Stoker in the engine room on HMS Campanula for most of the war. There are events in that film that my Dad told me happened for real. [/QUOTE]
