		The story of men who rose to heroism, and then to something greater, HMS Ulysses takes its place alongside The Caine Mutiny and The Cruel Sea as one of the classic novels of the navy at war.
		It is the compelling story of Convoy FR77 to Murmansk -- a voyage that pushes men to the limits of human endurance, crippled by enemy attack and the bitter cold of the Arctic.
		The story about the captain and crew of the HMS Ulysses, the story about men driven to the limit and far beyond by terror, cold and hunger, who somehow kept going because of their love and devotion to one extraordinary man, was one of the saddest, most capturing and most compelling stories I've ever read.

		The HMS Amazon, commissioned in 1973, was the class-leader of the Type 21 Anti-submarine frigate.
		Among the unique features of the Type 21, of which eight were eventually built, was the extensive use of aluminum in the superstructure to reduce the ships weight and its gasoline driven engines.
		The decal sheet comes with the hull numbers for three ships in this class: HMS Amazon (F169), HMS Active (F171) and HMS Arrow (F173) as well as the helipad markings (which are triplicated for some unknown reason).
