The disaster of the loss of the HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse in the defence of Singapore in December, 1941.
At Trafalgar about 22% of the crew of Nelsons Victory we volunteers . In 1945 the RNVR boosted by maby wartime volunteers was providing no less than 88% of officer in the Navy.
A fascinating read for anyone interested in the war, the sea, or men under conditions of trial and stress. With much detail of life aboard HM Ships at this time, the conditions the officers of these days lived and fought under, very different from the present day.
