Plot summary
In May 2002, a nuclear torpedo attack occurs on the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Thomas Jefferson, destroying it. A search commences for the attacking submarine, a Cold War-era Kilo-class submarine. The hunt for the Kilo results in the sinking of the Ayatollah of Iran's submarines by a Navy SEAL raid, an underwater transit through the Bosporus, and an underwater battle near the Falklands. Commander Ben Adnam is a slick commander who eludes capture. He skillfully evades Bill Baldrige and the U.S. Navy.
