The narrative focuses on the experiences of the U.S.S. Corsair, a converted yacht that played a notable role in naval warfare during World War I. The book recounts the transition from civilian life to military service through the lens of its crew, emphasizing their spirit and resilience amid significant challenges like submarine warfare. The opening portion of the book introduces the critical situation faced by the American Navy and its allies during the spring of 1917. At this time, Allied shipping losses were mounting due to the German submarine campaign, placing immense pressure on the Navy to respond effectively. It highlights the urgency of deploying destroyers across the Atlantic and the unconventional decision to convert luxury yachts like the Corsair for combat. As it details the preparations for war, the narrative establishes a foundation of camaraderie among the crew, illustrating their transformation from inexperienced sailors into a cohesive unit ready to confront the perils of the war zone.
