«The Ship» is the war novel by C.S. Forester, published by Penguin in paperback (256 pages, in English).
During the Second World War, a British convoy vital to breaking Mussolini's control over Malta is intercepted in the Mediterranean by the Italian fleet. Aboard HMS Artemis, five British cruisers attempt to contain a vastly superior force while the narrative moves through the ship, from bridge to engine room, over a long day of combat.
Forester, creator of the character Horatio Hornblower, embarked with the Royal Navy to document the novel, originally published in 1943.
For readers of historical and war fiction, with a special interest in naval warfare and the Second World War.
