You'll Never Forget...

A patriotic wartime drama chronicling the life and death of a naval destroyer and the bonds forged between its captain and crew through duty and sacrifice.
The story of the HMS Torrin, from its construction to its sinking in the Mediterranean during action in World War II. The ship’s first and only commanding officer is Captain E.V. Kinross, who trains his men not only to be loyal to him and the country, but—most importantly—to themselves.
