Looking back at to the early 1900’s and the heyday of crossatlantic cruising up untill the 1960s when planes stated taking 96 of every 100 travelers.
Tracks the Navy’s metamorphosis with dramatic first-person testimonies from those involved in some of the greatest British naval operations of the twentieth century: the Battle of Jutland in 1916 in which Britain lost 5,672 men, the epic campaigns of World War II and into modern times .
Britain’s successful war with Argentina to repossess the Falklands witnessed the largest combined sea and air battles fought since the Second World War. The courage of Royal Navy commanders, sailors and pilots was put to a severe test on more than one occasion and was never found wanting. But there were tragic losses of men and ships and there remain disturbing questions which need to be answered.
