Synopsis:

In a world besieged by a relentless naval threat, a unique defense force has emerged. The Naval Arsenal, a forward operating base, relies on "Kanmusu"—humanoid embodiments of historic warships, imbued with the spirits of their vessel’s past. These individuals pilot weaponized gear, channeling the power of legendary ships to combat the encroaching Abyssal Fleet.

Fubuki, a newly recruited Destroyer Kanmusu, finds herself unexpectedly integrated into the elite Third Torpedo Squadron. Thrust into intense combat despite her inexperience and reserved personality, she faces overwhelming odds and near destruction. This pivotal event ignites a determined resolve within Fubuki to surpass her rescuer and prove her worth on the battlefield. The series explores themes of courage, self-discovery, and the weight of legacy within a distinct military setting.
