The year is 1942. Following a Mid-Atlantic operation Oliver Pitman was chosen to command a new futuristic state of the art Submarine the likes of never seen before. A serious and potentially disastrous falling out with a senior Officer could put this Command and any promotion prospects at risk. Teething problems, enemy agents, spies and traitors all contribute towards success or failure of Operation Trojan Submarine and plunges Oliver into many circumstances completely unfamiliar to his normal and relatively safe environment.

Set Worldwide in genuine locations on real ships and shore establishments provides a shaggy dog story centred around many actual personal and historic Global events charting the progress, often amusing, sometimes sad and occasionally turbulent and dangerous, whilst navigating through the entire twelve year career of one Sailors experiences as a 1960's Naval Rating at home, abroad, ashore, at sea and even in the air for a warts and all tongue in cheek outlook on Navy life for his 12 years a Sailor.
