Fightin' Navy #103

The crew of the U.S.S. Shima Maru—a disguised American cruiser built to resemble a Japanese heavy cruiser—prowls the waters north of Japan, using her deceptive appearance to strike at enemy shipping and installations. When fuel runs dangerously low, Captain Joe Hasbrouck and his men devise a daring plan to refuel from a Japanese tanker, but their cover is nearly blown when the enemy spots an American sailor on deck. With their tanks filled and their disguise still holding, the cruiser slips into a Japanese naval base for a devastating raid before racing to safety through rain and darkness.

Captain Holgaard of the U.S.S. Dalton, a cutting-edge nuclear submarine armed with Polaris missiles, is forced to dock at a Mediterranean port for critical repairs—but what should be a routine stop turns into a nightmare when Communist forces seize the vessel and its crew. With his submarine and its devastating payload now under enemy control, Holgaard must rally his men to prevent the Reds from spiriting one of the Free World's most powerful deterrents to Soviet territory.

During the Cold War's tense standoff in the Eastern Mediterranean, American naval forces discover that Communist agents have located the Sixth Fleet—and a new high-speed Soviet PT boat squadron armed with atomic rockets is converging on their position. American patrol boats race to intercept the "secret killers" before they can strike, leading to a desperate high-seas confrontation under moonlight as two navies collide at full speed.
