Years after a fleet of sentient battleships took control of the world's oceans, a mysterious submarine that can transform into a girl may be humanity's last hope. Inspired the anime! It's been seventeen long years since the Fleet of Fog--a mysterious, unmanned fleet of powerful vessels that appeared out of nowhere--took control of the oceans, barring humanity from traveling between continents or islands. Now, a weapon powerful enough to damage the Fog's vessels has finally been invented, and there's just one way of getting the critical information and prototypes from Japan to America, where the weapon can be produced. The submarine I-401, with its humanoid avatar--a "mental model" named Iona, who's taken the shape of a young girl--was once part of the Fleet of Fog, but has chosen to side with humanity. Captained by Chihaya Gunzo and his crew, the I-401 is the only ship under human control that can move freely through the seas. But she answers only to her captain, and he answers to no one.

THE FOG ROLLS IN Chihaya Gunzou, captain of the sentient submarine known as I-401, is renowned for his unorthodox tactics. His unpredictability is a strength when it's just him and his crew against the world, but with two massive Fog battleships attacking their home port, Yokosuka, the I-401 has to team up with a human-built submarine to try to take them down—without letting the Fog ships anticipate their next move! The good news is that the other sub is a "White Whale," representing the most cutting-edge technology Japan can produce. What's more, Gunzou has an invaluable advantage: a former crew member is temporarily serving as part of the White Whale's crew, and she knows how Gunzou thinks. Meanwhile, the Fog battleships Kirishima and Haruna are determined to be the ones to capture the renegade I-401, and they have a plan that no one can see coming.

SECRETS REVEALED The National Maritime Institute of Technology's school festival is in full swing! Beneath the hustle and bustle, Takao and Atago face off against Kirishima and Haruna, who are trying to break in to Facility Number Four. Meanwhile, on Hashira Island, Gunzou plots his escape!
