This anthology issue contains at least two stories: "The U.S.S. Ice Cube," in which a U.S. submarine pursues a German sub through Arctic waters near Denmark Strait in September, with the American crew aiming for the enemy vessel's boiler room to freeze it in winter; and "The Admiral's Shadow," depicting Japanese Admiral Hoku Shoma's transport ship being attacked by American zeroes and submarines, with the Admiral vowing that when U.S. subs would surprise them.

In the frozen silence beyond Denmark, the U.S.S. Ice Cube is locked in a tense standoff with a Nazi sub tender, both trapped beneath the Arctic ice. With the enemy planning a daring assault across the frozen expanse, the American crew must defend their position in a battle fought as much on ice as in the depths below.

The Undetected!

In "The Undetected!", Lieutenant Commander Perry Barra takes matters into his own hands when he learns of hidden Communist submarines poised off U.S. shores. With no official recourse, he dispatches frogmen on a covert mission to force one of the subs to surface—before it’s too late. The tension builds as the enemy captain makes a chilling promise, and Barra holds onto hope that this act of defiance will make the next attempt a lesson in futility.

The Admiral's Shadow

Admiral Hoku Shoma (Japanese)U.S. submarine captainJimmie (U.S. submariner)

In "The Admiral's Shadow," an American submarine slips beneath a Japanese convoy, shadowing the admiral's flagship in a tense game of stealth and suspense. With only a typeset lettering to guide the reader through the quiet dread, the crew must hold their breath as one wrong move could mean discovery—and disaster.
