Abstract

Inspired by the destruction of the HMS Kelly during the Battle of Crete in May 1941, this British war propaganda film made with the assistance of the Ministry of Information in the midst of the Second World War highlights and encourages national unity during the struggle. The film  tells the story of a British naval ship, the HMS Torrin, from its construction to its sinking in the Mediterranean in 1941. The ship’s first and only commanding officer is the experienced Captain E.V. Kinross, who trains his men not only to be loyal to him, but to their country and  to themselves. The men face daunting challenges at sea and  at home: they lose  shipmates in action and  loved ones at home in Blitz. Throughout it all, the men of the Torrin serve valiantly and heroically.
