A valiant rescue of a crewmate from the burning pilothouse brings him a visit to Buckingham Palace to receive the Distinguished Service Cross.

Remmie, meanwhile, has his own personal struggles on board the John Holt, as the ship arms itself against the threat from the skies.

Returning to the waves, Rom joins HMS Walker, set to take on the Nazi U-boat aces Otto Kretschmer and Joachim Schepke.

With both brothers in dangerous waters, a twist of fate brings them back together.

But will they both make it out in one piece...?
