"The Sweeper" depicts a naval engagement in which an American submarine crew discovers a Japanese transport plane carrying highly secret material and attempts to intercept it. After the plane crashes into the sea near their vessel, the crew faces a Japanese Matsui-class destroyer that pursues them, forcing a tense underwater battle where the Americans must use tactical maneuvering and weapon systems to survive the depth charge attacks and destroy their adversary.

Find and Recover U.S.S. Arrowfish
5 pp · War

In 1943, the U.S.S. Arrowfish is trapped by a Japanese destroyer off Saipan and forced to dive into an underwater fissure to escape depth charges—a desperate move that leaves her on the ocean floor with damaged systems and a crew facing either slow suffocation or capture. When Naval Command learns the wreck's location, they dispatch the U.S.S. Channelcat with an underwater demolition team to prevent the Japanese from salvaging the sub and discovering American secrets. What follows is a tense race against time as the Channelcat crew works to make Arrowfish watertight again and bring her back to the surface before the enemy can board her.

The Final Score of 1918
1 pp · War

When the Armistice of 1918 prompted the British Admiralty to assess the Atlantic campaign, the numbers told a stunning story: a mere 178 German U-boats had nearly turned the tide of the entire war through relentless raids on shipping and strategic mining of vital sea-lanes. "The Final Score of 1918" chronicles how the Allies, deploying nearly 300 destroyers, dozens of corvettes, and over a thousand auxiliary vessels, ultimately developed the tactics needed to counter the U-boat threat and secure victory.

Operation Hush-Hush
5 pp · War

When a Soviet supersonic bomber carrying classified equipment and nuclear warheads crash-lands on a remote Siberian beach, the crew of the USS Murrell—a nuclear submarine—races to rescue the injured airmen before Soviet forces can reach them. Captain Solan and his team must execute a daring beach operation under heavy risk, knowing that the aircraft and its secrets cannot fall into enemy hands. What begins as a rescue mission becomes a desperate gamble against the clock in the frozen Arctic.

Known Enemy
6 pp · War

Lieutenant Walton, commanding the submarine USS Greyfin, comes face-to-face with Commander Kimitsu Yogashi—a Japanese officer who boasted of conquest during a peacetime visit to Tokyo in 1939, and whom Walton struck in anger at a diplomatic gathering. Now, years into the war, Yogashi commands a destroyer bent on ramming the American sub, and the two enemies finally settle their personal score in a desperate underwater confrontation. Walton must use every trick of submarine warfare to survive an opponent who's waited years for revenge.

Knowing Your Boat
1 pp · War

A Navy recruit earns his place in submarine school through rigorous mental and physical screening, then faces the demanding training at New London to master the skills of the Silent Service. Once assigned to an actual submarine, the real work begins—every sailor must memorize every pipe, wire, hatch, and piece of equipment aboard in a crucial practice called "knowing your boat," ensuring any crew member can handle emergency repairs when disaster strikes.

The Sweeper
7 pp · War

Aboard the USS Reefray, sailor Mick Moffett is struggling with the weight of combat missions—his nerve is fraying even as he guns down enemy aircraft under Lt. Comdr. Tyler Ross's bold leadership. When the skipper orders a daring raid deep into Kobe Harbor, Moffett must confront his own fears while manning the deck guns in one last desperate run through Japanese-controlled waters. It's a tense study of courage and doubt played out against the claustrophobic tension of submarine warfare.
