Hm Frigate

by Nicholas Monsarrat

H.M. Frigate Colony - American built, British-manned - alert, seaworthy and ready. This is the true story of Lieutenant-Commander Nicholas Monsarrat's taking over the command of a Frigate in World War II. Written in his usual crisp and gripping way, it tells the story with full recognition of the men who served with him. Also detailed is an agreeable interlude in the United States between handing over the first frigate, H.M.S. River, to the Canadian Navy and collecting 'Colony', which was fitted out with at least some all-American comforts, and up to date telegraphy and weaponry.
