Actually I thought it was written by Alexander Kent, at least I think the german version actually WAS sold as being by Alexander Kent..

But it surely seemed to be a steep drop in quality compared to other Kent novels.

Strike from the Sea when I read it (now that I've wikied Reeman and found the title). And yeah, he uses the pen name Alexander Kent. Had already read
With Blood and Iron and
Send a Gunboat, which were a little better, though still a bit farcical.
When the same CO/XO/Girlfriend subplot showed up in
A Ship Must Die I sorta gave up on him. Really...three times was enough...
