Submarine Attack #27 is an anthology featuring at least two war stories. "The Enemy on Ice" depicts August 1943 action in the Convoy Lanes when the German heavy cruiser Holtzheidt attacks Allied shipping near Greenland; a U.S. submarine is tasked with sinking the raider before it can cause further damage. The opening story shows a U.S. submarine crew discovering a sunken vessel and attempting a dangerous rescue of survivors from the wreckage, with the submarine ultimately forced to depart the area under enemy fire.

In "The China Sea Sinking," the U.S.S. Skimmer fights desperately against a Japanese bomber, sinking with Major Kinroe and vital documents aboard. A rescue sub arrives to recover the wreckage, sending two skindivers down to assess the site—only to discover the entire crew alive after four days. With time running short, they prepare the sunken sub with explosives, waiting for the enemy to come.
