On 31 January 1918, nine K Class submarines sailed with the Grand Fleet to an exercise in the North Sea. However, as they approached the Isle of May, navigational problems broke out and the resultant collisions accounted for the loss of 105 men. This book explores the fiasco and the secret court marshal proceedings which ensued.
