Анотація: "Whatch out. Whales on the radar are frequently taken for submarines." This, the message from no less than the Duke of Edinburgh as President of the World Life Fund to the admiral of the fleet, as the British armada, carrying some five thousand men, courses along the south Atlantic toward the Falkland. Then, suddenly, a blip on the radar screen. Is it a whale? Is it a sub? To attack or not to attack?
A giant whale becomes the pet and mascot of the British armada and is recommended for a medal of bravery and finally the Victoria Cross.
