The I-401 and her intrepid crew, captained by Chihaya Gunzo, have escaped the trap set for them by the Fleet of Fog outside their home port of Yokosuka. Successfully returning home after two years away should be a triumphant occasion, but there are those who think otherwise. In fact, if they have their way, they will take the I-401--along with her mental model, Iona--away from Gunzo entirely and bring her back under government control. Human politicians...

"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...

"After a hard fight, I-401 is still operational--but just barely. With a gouge in her hull, her Super-Gravito Cannon annihilated, and her Wave-Force Armor out of commission, there doesn't seem to be much hope. Gunzou's got an idea--but will it be enough to get I-401 out of hot water? The final stage of the clash between Blue Steele and Kongou's hunting fleet has begun."-- cover page 4.

"All hands on deck. In the fight against the Kongo, Iona s mustering all the strength she can get including Ashigara and Haguro, who are now stuck aboard the 401. With the Kongo on the hunt and nowhere else for them to go, the mental models have no choice but to lend their enemies a helping hand. The end of the battle between Kongou s hunting fleet and the 1-401 draws nigh!"-- cover page 4.

"Gunzou might still be missing in action, but Iona is determined to make sure that his plan to smuggle a warhead across the Pacific Ocean goes ahead. If it's successful, it will give humanity a much needed win against the Fog. But in order for the plan to work, the I-401 will have to act as a decoy and go toe-to-toe against a dangerous enemy."-- cover page 4.
