Long Description of the Plot: The book "Grimsby's Fighting Fleet Trawlers and U-boats During the Second World War" tells the story of how the small fishing town of Grimsby, England, played a crucial role in the Allied victory during World War II. The town's fleet of trawlers, which were once used for fishing, were converted into naval vessels to combat German U-boats that were wreaking havoc on British shipping. The book explores how the town's fishermen, who had previously spent their lives at sea, became sailors overnight and risked their lives to protect their country. The plot begins with the outbreak of the war, when the British government realized that it needed to defend its coastlines against the German submarine threat. The Royal Navy was too busy protecting convoys and battleships to pay much attention to defending the coast, so local fishermen were recruited to man the trawlers. These boats were not only fast but also versatile, making them ideal for hunting down U-boats. The fishermen quickly learned the skills of naval warfare, from navigation to gunnery, and set out to sea to confront the enemy.
