UNDER ATTACK - FROM WITHIN...
2007: three supertankers are ablaze in the Strait of Hormuz. World oil prices skyrocket. US Military Intelligence concludes that it is Iran that behind this catastrophe at the gateway to the Persian Gulf, assisted by an expansionist China.
Joined by new, young naval intelligence officer Lt. Jimmy Ramshawe, Admiral Arnold Morgan threatens the Iranian Navy with annihilation, deploying the US Navy to Hormuz along with the nuclear submarine, USS Shark, carrying two teams of Navy SEALS.
With the US Navy distracted, China is able to unleash an attack on Taiwan, America's weak ally.
The situation is critical when mutiny occurs onboard the USS Shark, jeopardising the entire operation.
Will the SEALS be able to assist the increasingly desperate Taiwanese Air force and set matters straight?
