…films about the Battle of the Atlantic - my favourite being The Cruel Sea. NB The author of the novel on which the The Cruel Sea is based, Nicholas Monsarrat, wrote a moving account of his own service - Three Corvettes - which is one of the few books that has reduced me to tears.

On the subject of anti-submarine naval warfare, I would strongly recommend "Three Corvettes" by Nicholas Monsarrat. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Three-Corvettes-Nicholas-Monsarrat/d... From WW2 rather than WW1 - but I don't think the North Atlantic had changed much.
……记得曾在英国皇家海军护卫舰上服役的尼古拉斯·蒙萨拉特,特别敬佩油轮船员,因为他们在遭到 U 艇袭击时生还的几率比普通船员还要低。蒙萨拉特的《三艘护卫舰》(Three Corvettes)是为数不多让我感动落泪的书之一(够讽刺的是,我读它时正巧飞越那片一模一样的北大西洋)。“唯一的恶魔是大海,残酷的大海,人类让它变得更加残酷……”
…remember that Nicholas Monsarrat, who served on RN corvettes, had particular respect for the crews of oil tankers who had an even lower chance than normal of surviving an attack by a U-boat. Monsarrat's "Three Corvettes" is one of the few books that has moved me to tears (ironically enough while flying over the very same North Atlantic). "The only villain is the sea, the cruel sea, that man has made more cruel..."
I don't know - naval warfare in WW2 could be pretty grim. I can recommend Nicholas Monsarrat's "Three Corvettes" on his wartime naval experiences - I happened to buy this without knowing much about the book in Heathrow before a flight over the North Atlantic to the US. One of the relatively small number of books…
"The Cruel Sea" was also made into an excellent movie with some genuinely shocking moments for a film made in 1953. However, I am particularly fond of Nicholas Monsarrat's "Three Corvettes" his non-fiction account of his wartime experiences, one of the few books that has moved me to tears.

……关于大西洋海战的电影——我最喜欢的是《残酷的海》(The Cruel Sea)。顺便提一句,《残酷的海》的原著作者尼古拉斯·蒙萨拉特(Nicholas Monsarrat)写过一本讲述自己服役经历的感人自述——《三艘护卫舰》(Three Corvettes),它是为数不多让我落泪的书之一。有意思的是,我读这本书时正好在飞越北大西洋…… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Monsarrat

关于反潜海战这个话题,我强烈推荐尼古拉斯·蒙萨拉特的《三艘护卫舰》(Three Corvettes)。http://www.amazon.co.uk/Three-Corvettes-Nicholas-Monsarrat/d... 讲的是二战而不是一战——但我认为北大西洋并没有多大变化。

我不知道——二战时的海战可以说是相当残酷的。我可以推荐尼古拉斯·蒙萨拉特写他在战时海军经历的《三艘护卫舰》(Three Corvettes)——我是在希思罗机场搭乘飞越北大西洋去美国的航班前,在对这本书不太了解的情况下偶然买下的。它是为数不多几本……

《残酷的海》(The Cruel Sea)也被改编成了一部非常优秀的电影,以一部1953年的电影来说,里面有些场景确实令人震撼。不过,我尤其钟爱尼古拉斯·蒙萨拉特的《三艘护卫舰》(Three Corvettes),这是他战时经历的纪实作品,也是为数不多让我感动落泪的书之一。
