Not since the days of Desert Shield/ Desert Storm in 1991, has the world seen the full might of the U.S. military until now. A newly elected woman President is made an offer she cannot refuse. Cheap oil from a non-OPEC member for the next 5 years in exchange for help rebuilding the government and country of Somalia. The President agrees to this deal for what amounts to be a simple law enforcement action. The plans for Operation: Mount McKinley are laid out. With troops massing at the Somalian southern border and 5 full aircraft carrier battle groups headed there as well as many squadrons of Air Force bombers, the world watches carefully. The Iraq War, still fresh on people's minds, is something that the public does not want to be repeated. A 'Black Book Project' coupled with a decade long U.S. Navy psychological experiment on a "mustang" commander aboard a submarine, has come full circle. A new breed of fast attack sub is about to be launched. The USS DIAMONDBACK, SSN-75 is the most advanced, stealthiest and quietest sub under the sea. Operation Mount McKinley's success or failure is dependent on this new weapon. Will she succeed? Find out.
