The Cruel Sea Quotes
The Personal Toll of War at Sea
Capt. Ericson:
For us, the Battle of the Atlantic was becoming a private war. If you were in it, you knew all about it. You knew how to keep watch on filthy nights, and how to go without sleep; and how to bury the dead and how to die without wasting anyone's time.

The Cruelty of the Sea Explained
Capt. Ericson:
This is a story of the Battle of the Atlantic, the story of an ocean, two ships and a handful of men. The men are the heroes. The heroines are the ships. The only villain is the sea—the cruel sea—that man has made more cruel.
