Description

Together with the Americans, the Japanese built their first nuclear submarine under the strictest secrecy. The new Sea Bat sails under the American flag, despite having an all-Japanese crew under the command of Captain Kaieda. However, during a test run in the Pacific, the Sea Bat’s crew mutinies and escapes from the American Seventh Fleet.

After forcing a short-lived ceasefire by threatening a nuclear attack on the Seventh Fleet, Kaieda declares the Sea Bat the autonomous nation of Yamato in front of the horrified Americans. Completely outraged by Kaieda’s actions, the American leadership decides to destroy the mutinous submarine, but the Japanese oppose the decision and send an escort to the Yamato. A war between Japan and America seems inevitable …

Annotation:
The first episode of this title was originally planned as a TV special, but for various reasons, it was first released on VHS before being broadcast on Japanese television in March 1996. The English version is a montage of the first two episodes.
Zusammen mit den Amerikanern haben die Japaner unter strengster Geheimhaltung ihr erstes Atom-U-Boot gebaut. Die neue Sea Bat fährt unter amerikanischer Flagge, jedoch mit einer komplett japanischen Besatzung unter dem Kommando von Kapitän Kaieda. Während der Probefahrt im Pazifik meutert jedoch die gesamte Besatzung der Sea Bat und entkommt der amerikanischen siebten Flotte.

Nachdem Kaieda durch die Drohung eines nuklearen Angriffes auf die siebte Flotte einen kurzzeitigen Waffenstillstand erzwungen hat, erklärt er vor den entsetzten Amerikanern die Sea Bat zur autonomen Nation Yamato. Völlig außer sich über die Handlungen Kaiedas entscheidet sich die amerikanische Führung zur Zerstörung des meuternden U-Boots, die Japaner sind jedoch gegen die Entscheidung und schicken der Yamato eine Eskorte. Ein Krieg zwischen Japan und Amerika scheint unausweichlich …

Anmerkung:
Ursprünglich war die erste Folge dieses Titels als TV-Special geplant, wurde jedoch aus verschiedenen Gründen zunächst auf VHS veröffentlicht, ehe im März 1996 eine Ausstrahlung im japanischen Fernsehen erfolgte. Bei der englischsprachigen Fassung handelt es sich um einen Zusammenschnitt der ersten beiden Folgen.
