Days after their attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese military commanders realize they have provoked the U.S. into joining the war and are likely targets for American retaliation. They quickly mobilize to build a secret super fleet of submarines. Sen Toku: search for Japan’s Ghost Fleet follows as Texas A&M University marine archaeologist Brett Phaneuf tries to locate these legendary subs. Phaneuf and his team travel to Japan where 24 World War II submarines were scuttled, doomed to a watery grave. Working from 60- year-old declassified U.S. naval photos, ocean sonar and GPS navigation, and ROVs (remotely operated vehicles), Phaneuf’s crew – the first to survey these wrecks – discover details of World War II submarines lost long ago in the Pacific Ocean.

 

While the team searches for the Sen Toku submarines, they learn of secret missions planned for the subs. But the sea doesn't give up its secrets without a fight, and six decades of saltwater and secrecy has buried all that remains of Japan's ghost fleet. The team is prepared to push themselves and their technology to learn the truth, but will it be enough to solve this deep blue mystery?
