Operation GB The Search for a World
War II Mystery Submarine by Wm. J. Veigele, Ph. D., USNR (Ret)
In April 1945, the United States Navy submarine chaser patrol
craft USS PC 793 patrolled for Japanese submarines near Adak Island
in the Aleutians. It attacked a Japanese submarine. Debris surfaced.
Though the navy did not confirm the attack, members of the crew
of PC 793 were convinced they sank a submarine. This story is based
on that true incident.
In 1970, a United States Navy group, aboard USS Nez Perce, ATA
131, searches near Adak Island in the Aleutians for a sunken World
War II Japanese submarine. They endure Williwaw storms and the perils
of diving in the frigid Bering Sea. Divers find the submarine and
discover a weapon aboard labeled, GB. Then the struggles for GB
begin with assassins from a secret Japanese Society, a Navy traitor,
and Muslim terrorists.
1970 Pete Charleson fights to prove that during World War II his
ship sank a Japanese submarine in the Aleutians. An assassin from
the secret Japanese society, The Order, tries to kill him. The attacks
on Charleson convince Vice Admiral, Darco, and his assistant, Lieutenant
Commander Helen Vincent, to go to the Aleutians and search for the
submarine. Divers find it, and Vincent discovers, from its log book,
that it carries a powerful weapon, labeled GB, kept secret since
1945 by Japan and America. A battle for control of GB erupts among
The Order, a Muslim terrorist, and Charleson. The outcome of their
struggle could rewrite history, destroy the world balance of power,
and start a Third Nuclear World War.
