Plot Summary: One day, a fleet of ships with mysterious superweapons called the “Fleet of Fog” appeared all around the world. Humanity did not have the technology to fight such a fleet, so they were driven out of the sea. Seventeen years after the battle, for some reason, Gunzou Chihaya and his crewmates aboard the I-401 and the personification (Mental Model) of the I-401, Iona, started fighting the Fleet of Fog.
