SYNOPSIS: Two men from two completely different worlds tossed into the navy together. That doesn't matter now, the sea doesn't discriminate. Assigned to duty aboard HMS Inflexible, Archy Buller follows a long line of men in the Buller family who have become officers in the Royal Navy, often to great acclaim. For Rod Maclewin, a welder’s son, joining the Navy is the only way to escape an inevitable life of poverty. It is during the fierce riots in Alexandria, at a besieged railway station, that the paths of the two men fatefully meet. And in spite of their class differences, Buller and Maclewin strike an immediate friendship. But with the trials and tribulations of life at sea, and the ever-present dangers of battle, will their friendship stand the test of time?
