In Trial of the Seventh Carrier, written by Peter Albano - the sixth book in the Seventh Carrier series - the seventh Japanese carrier Yonaga and a WWII submarine go up against terrorists.

With Brent Ross serving on the WWII submarine Blackfin, tensions flare between him and the Blackfin's commander, Lieutenant Reginald Williams. It seems almost unamerican that these two should be at odds with each other. It seems to me that Ross and the Japanese should be at odds with each other instead of Ross and Williams, but Ross and the Japanese have grown to respect each other throughout the series. The Libyans and Japanese of course loath each other and the confrontations between these countrymen are pretty graphic.

The one thing that I keep waiting for, but so far has not been shown, is some kind of attempt to circumvent the Chinese killer satellite weapons system that is preventing the use of modern ships and planes and other modern weaponry and communications. This was basically preventing any real computing power and programming for military use. Despite the fact that as of 2013 we civilians are used to lots of computer devices, you would think that back in 1990 there would still be a lot more computer access for use in the military.

In ATTACK OF THE SEVENTH CARRIER written by Peter Albano, the fifth book of the Seventh Carrier series, the Imperial Japanese aircraft carrier Yonaga - which was originally supposed to be part of the Pearl Harbor attack force in 1941 - must deal with getting combat ready to go against an enemy naval fleet, while Lieutenant Brent Ross is assigned to a WWII submarine.

Because of a Chinese space orbital weapons system, modern weapons and machinery become destroyed if used. So WWII equipment is brought out of mothballs to fight the world's terrorists. As Lt. Ross, the American samurai, falls for a mature woman CIA liaison agent, Ross learns how to operate a WWII submarine to fight alongside Yonaga against a battle fleet. Considering that American submarines sank almost five million tons of shipping during WWII, this submarine is an important part of Yonaga's fleet. The loss of one of the major characters in the series is a shock and is sure to affect Ross in future novels.
