Description

Japan and the United States secretly built the first Japanese atomic submarine, "The Sea Bat". However, during the test sail, Captain Kaieda Shiro revolted against the order and began to escape. The US navy decided to sink the Sea Bat. The Sea Bat appeared in front of the US fleet, and declared that the submarine was an independent country, "Yamato". Yamato broke through the blockage of the US fleet, and sailed for Japan to ally. After the sever discussion, Japanese Government decided to deploy Marine Self Defense Force (SDF) to guard Yamato. The relation between Japan and the US entered into an explosive situation. To settle the matter, an emergency summit conference was held.
