 At a glance, I read this title as "Birdemic".

 This TV Movie was about the fictional version of the final voyage of the hospital ship and sister ship of the Titanic, HMHS Britannic that sunk from hitting a German naval mine laid by German U-Boat SM U-73 under the command of Gustav Sieß in the Aegean Sea near the Greek island of Kea on the morning of the 21st November 1916.

The Britannic was the third and final of the three Olympic class ocean liners built by Harland & Wolff Ship Builders for the White Star Line, like her two older sister ships, the Olympic, and the Titanic, the Britannic (then known as Gigantic) was designed to be a Transatlantic passenger ships, but while being fitted out in August 1914, the First World War broke out, resulting in the materials used in the construction on the Britannic being diverted to the British Admiralty who had requested large ships for services as Armed Auxiliary Cruisers and troop ships.

The Britannic was requisitioned by the Admiralty as a hospital ship on the 13th November 1915 for service in the failed Gallipoli campaign and was repainted white with the green horizonal stripe, and three red crosses at the bow, middle and stern on both sides of the ship.

In the ship's interior, 3,309 hospital beds along with several operating rooms installed, with the common areas on the upper decks served as the rooms for the wounded.

B Deck housed the cabins for the ship's doctors, the First class dining and reception rooms on D Deck were converted into several operating rooms with the lower bridge used to accommodate soldiers with minor injuries.

On the 23th December 1915, under the command of Captain Charles Bartlett, the Britannic left Liverpool with a medical team consisting of 101 nurses, 388 commissioned and non-commissioned officers and a crew of 675 to pick up and bring back sick and wounded soldiers from the Greek island of Lemnos.

After completing her third voyage, on the 6th June 1916, the Britannic returned to Belfast to be transform into a Transatlantic passenger ship, but as she was being reconfigured, the Admiralty requested the Britannic back for her service as a hospital ship on the 26th August 1916.

On her sixth and final voyage, the Britannic was sailing from Southampton to Lemnos with Captain Bartlett, 673 crew members, 315 Royal Army Medical Corps personnel, and 77 nurses.

Of the 1,065 onboard, 1,035 had survived the sinking, including Captain Bartlett.

This film also highlighted the collusion between Germany and the Irish Fenian groups, like the Irish Republic Brotherhood, or the IRB (the IRA's predecessor) who had a long standing hatred towards the British and decided to form an alliance with the Germans in return for aid in the war against the British in an attempt to gain independence of Ireland from Britain.

Seven months prior the Britannic's sinking, from the 24th to the 29 April 1916, a number of members from the IRB had enlisted with the Irish Volunteers, Irish Citizen Army, Fianna Éireann, Cumann na mBan, and Hibernian Rifles to fight in the failed Easter Rising in Dublin, using firearms that Germany had managed to supplied.
