Sink or Capture

Sink or capture

This story is historical fiction, realistic fiction and suspense.

This is a historical fiction "leave one company here to hold the place. Embark the other three companies in Cassandra." This is said by the Captain to an officer. This is what could have happened in WW2  - HMS Cassandra was an actual ship in the Royal Navy at the time of the Second World War.

This is a realistic fiction because this could have happened to a Captain of a battle ship in WW2. "This could have happened to any Captain." This is a realistic story ; the ship is real, the Captain is real in the story, as well as the operation that was carried out could be similar to a proper operation carried out at the time.

This is also suspense. "Smith said OK, and he was left on his own." this is because there are breath holding moments; when the Captain was wounded and was in a critical state. These parts were also exciting because I was really interested about the next happenings.
