THE SHIPPresident Franklin D. Roosevelt's Lend-Lease Act selected the outdated mothballed Clemson class destroyer USS Daniel C. Mars (DD-202) to fly the British Royal Navy ensign in the service of King George VI. THE CREWWith the President's approval, American sailors volunteered to train the English sailors on the ship's operations. Skeptical eyebrows raised on both sides of the Atlantic. THE MISSIONTransport the old ship to England. On arrival, the Americans find they are crew members and will fight alongside the Tars against Germany and Japan. Bookies give 4 to 1 against the ship's survival and 5 to 1 that the two crews won't survive one another.
