We joined the Navy and We Saw the Sea have firmly established John Winton as one of our leading humorists. This novel plunges us into the mysterious and often hilarious life of submariners. When Lieutenant Commander Robert Bollinger Badger, D.S.C., R.N., otherwise known as The Artful Bodger, was appointed captain of H.M.S. Seahorse, the Navy's newest sub-marine, the Submarine Services sat back and waited, resignedly, for the big bang. But The Bodger was undismayed and with the most variegated ship's company that ever put to sea he set to work to give Seahorse a worthy reputation.
