About this title

Synopsis

The U. S. Submarine Minefish is ordered from its base in San Francisco to Puget Sound to confront a Rogue Submarine, Red Dragon that is threatening to explode dirty bombs around Puget Sound to force the U.S. to withdraw its bases and consulates from Asia.

The conspirators have packaged many bombs using Plutonium waste from Nagasaki. They kidnap prostitutes to help them deliver the bombs that are then exploded by timers.

The battle between opposing submarines rages around, the coves, inlets and waterways of Puget Sound. Will the U. S. Submarines, Minefish and Piratefish be able to thwart the plot and capture the conspirators?
