Description:
Lieutenant St. Vincent Halfhyde, RN, appointed to the battleship Prince Consort, is ordered to proceed to South Africa upon a special mission to apprehend a highly placed Admiralty civilian, Sir Russell Savory, who has fled the country with secret blueprints of the forthcoming naval construction program. These vital blue-prints, and Savory's personal knowledge of Fisher's plans to build up the Navy, would be of tremendous value to any foreign power, especially the Germans.

But the Prince Consort, lying partially disabled in the Bay of Biscay whilst on passage to Gibraltar, is overhauled by the German Special Service Squadron wearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Paulus von Merkatz, steaming to the south at full speed - with the obvious intention of beating the British Navy in the race for Sir Russell Savory.
