*****************************************************************************************************
The Battlecruiser: in its day, this class of ship was considered
one of the great triumphs of the Royal Navy, as swift as a
destroyer but packing a deadly firepower equal to any ship afloat.
But the ships had one fatal flaw: their armour could be pierced by
a single enemy shell. The Battle of Jutland exposed this Achilles'
heel, then further disasters followed in the next world war with
the tragic sinkings of the Hood and Repulse. 1943 - of all her
class, HMS Reliant and one other have survived. Reliant has the
reputation of a lucky ship, but when Captain Guy Sherbrooke joins
her, he knows he could be her last captain. As Britain prepares to
invade occupied Europe, Reliant will be thrown head first into the
conflagration. All those who sail in her know that there can be no
half measures: only death or glory awaits HMS Reliant.
