【summary】

The Maritime Self-Defense Force submarine Yamanami sank, and its captain, Shiro Kaieda, and 70 crew members were presumed dead. However, the crew of the Yamanami secretly escaped and became crew members of the Seabat, a nuclear-powered submarine that had been secretly developed by the United States and Japan. However, Kaieda mutinously escaped during the test operation of the Seabat and proclaimed Yamato an independent nation, free from the hands of the U.S. and Japan.

Amidst the intersecting interests of the U.S., the Soviet Union, and Japan, Kaieda fends off one pursuer after another with his skillful command and sophisticated strategy.
