Sea-Hounds

A gritty slice of wartime life unfolds aboard the destroyer Spark, where the crew’s routine of patrols, storms and endless radio chatter is shattered by a sudden torpedo strike on a convoy. The captain’s weary humor masks the tension as he briefs his men on the relentless cat‑and‑mouse chase with unseen U‑boats, while the sea itself becomes a battlefield of nets, blimps and sea‑planes prowling the Mediterranean’s narrow straits.

Through the eyes of a young officer, listeners hear the clatter of action stations, the crackle of wireless messages, and the roar of engines as the flotilla fans out to hunt the hidden threat. The narrative captures the claustrophobic camaraderie of sailors, the relentless grind of duty, and the ever‑present danger that turns ordinary patrols into high‑stakes hunts. It’s a vivid portrait of naval warfare, where every sunrise could bring a new chase and every ripple might hide an enemy lurking beneath.
