Reminds me of the scifi post-apoc novel "The Last Ship" by William Brinkley about a US navy ship taking part in mutual destruction and surviving to roam the dying world and start over with a partly female crew.

- King-Aaron 6y agoIn On the Beach I seem to recall the crew of the submarine dying horribly, along with everyone else
- fogihujy 6y agoA spoiler alert would be a good idea -- not everyone has read it. :) It's a very good novel on the same theme, and thus relevant. Highly recommended.
- King-Aaron 6y agoI mean yeah, but the books from 1957 so I'm not sure if thats completely necessary :P
- aksss 6y agoThey made a TV show of that right? Haven’t seen it but may check it out. Was the book any good?
- crooked-v 6y agoThe show is very loosely related, as rather than a nuclear war the ship takes part in, there's a pandemic that devastates the world that the ship is coincidentally protected from by isolation.
- INTPenis 6y agoIt was pretty ok but not good imo. Too much emotional introspection by the narrating character, the captain. Not enough action or detail in the society building. Never heard of the TV show. I'm sort of afraid of watching it, kinda like the Timeline movie based on the Crichton novel.
- koheripbal 6y agoThe show performed terribly.
