Issue Description

In the early 21st century, the majority of Earth's landmass is submerged due to rising sea levels. Enter the Fleet of Fog, a host of sentient alien battleships of unknown origin who easily decimate earth's naval forces. Humanity is now on the verge of extinction.

In the year 2039, the stalwart Captain Chihaya Gunzou and his intrepid crew on the Blue Steel fleet may be humanity's last chance to fight off the alien invaders. The Blue Steel fleet happens to contain a secret weapon that could turn the tide of war: a mysterious I-401 submarine that can transform into a girl.

Alliances and subterfuge are the order of the day! Japan's military, anxious to prevent the the sentient submarine 401 from leaving for the United States, takes desperate action. What they haven't banked on is Gunzou and his crew getting help from the two Fog ships: Hyuga, who's kept the 401 in good repair and maintained the crew's base of operations, and the opportunistic Takao, who's allied herself with them in pursuit of her own goals.

On the other side of the world, Gunzou's father–the 401's former captain, Chihaya Shouzou–supported b the Musashi and other likeminded Fog vessels, announces a new approach for making Earth's oceans once again safe for humanity and Fog alike–but under his authority. Gunzou has plans oh his own for bringing peace to the world, if only Japan can be persuaded to go along with them...
