Commander John McGregor OBE Royal Navy Crossed the Bar on August 12th 2025 at the age of 88. After a varied naval career, which included high pressure jobs in nuclear submarines, John McGregor was appointed as Engineer Commander of HMS Fearless in March 1982. At the time he may have thought that this would be a comparatively relaxing job, but all that changed when Fearless sailed with the Task Force for the Falklands War.
A World War 2 drama that highlights the characters (all aged only between 19 and 23 years) as much as the actual events.
The British submarine Sea Tiger's crew is looking forward to a long shore-leave after months at sea. This is cut short when they are ordered to pursue and sink the German battleship Brandenburg. The crew's sub-Commander (John Mills) struggles to fulfil the mission despite discovering that the battleship is heavily defended.
Along the way Sea Tiger encounters many obstacles and once the crew has attempted to sink the battleship they have to escape knowing that they are about to run out of fuel.
