Built in total secrecy, these 76,000-ton warships seem invincible. American military intelligence knows of two such ships, but there are rumors of a third, built not as a battleship but as an aircraft carrier. Now ready to go operational from Japans heavily defended and mined Inland Sea, a carrier of that size could disrupt the entire invasion effort. American bombers cant reach the Inland Sea, so the Navy high command decides to send a submarine on a special mission to kill the carrier...assuming that it even exists. No American submarine has ever been able to penetrate the Inland Sea; five boats and their crews have perished in or around the main entrance strait, known as Bungo Suido. Lieutenant Commander Gar Hammond - an aggressive, ship-killing captain with a reckless streak - is now skipper of the Dragonfish, a new submarine. When Admiral Nimitz decides to try one more time, Hammond becomes the navys only hope to locate and stop the Japanese super-ship before it escapes into the open Pacific. P. T.

Boyd Literary Award for Excellence in Military Fiction, administered by the American Library Association.
