Synopsis:

Protagonist Gunzo Chihaya and his friends, with the help of renegade Fog A.Is, head towards the United States to present blueprints for a weapon that will turn the tides of war in humanity's favor. It is easier said than done because Gunzo and the rest of Arpeggio's crew have gotten the attention of the mysterious Admiralty Code.

Now they must face a new Fleet of Fog threat known as "Fog Student Council," who are mental models dressed like high school girls. The Fog Student Council preaches that Earth's morals must correspond to the Fog's morals.

Characters and Voice Actors:

- Main:

Gunzou Chihaya

He was a former student from the Marine Technical Academy and the captain of the Sentoku I-401 submarine, which is the only Fog Vessel that defected to the human side. He is also the leader of the Blue Steel Crew which consists of former students of the same academy.

In the manga, his school is called "Japanese National Marine Academy."

- Okitsu, Kazuyuki (Japanese)

Iona "I-401, The Blue Steel"

Iona is the Mental Model of the Fog Ship: I-401 submarine. After the great battle, she was placed on stasis and given order to follow and obey to Chigaya Gounzo. She's one of the oldest Mental Models in existence and, having spent around two years with humans, she is one of the most versed in the human way of life. Unless she reveals her abilities, it is practically impossible to distinguish her from a normal human.

Iona is usually calm and rather quiet; she's helpful towards her crew and is a dear friend of Gunzou. She doesn't like taking big risks, but often agrees that Gunzou's sometimes rather crazy plans are the best ones. Iona appears to be sharing various duties like cleaning and cooking with her crew. It doesn't look like she has any definite hobbies, but she likes watching anime as shown in the manga.
