express this bold, eccentric idea.
The story isn't also realistic.
But what the author would appeal to
the readers is realistic and clear.
The series of this comics began at 1988,
when Russian existed and the cold war
between East and West remained. The problem
of the world peace;How can we abolish or
reduce the nuclear weapon ?; was one of
the most important and urgentest subjects.
The author's ambitious trial to approach this problem must be evaluated highly.
He asserts that we should overcome the difficulties which bring us opposition,
strifes and wars. For that purpose we should have to become world-citizens above
our original nations, tribes and races.
The silent service is a nuclear submarine with 20 crews, which is named "seabat"
at first,"YAMATO" later. The captain of the submarine is KAIEDA SIROU, who is
very excellent and expert commander. He declared that "YAMATO" should be an
independent nation. Doing battles against American submarines several times,
"YAMATO" comes into the port New York. At last KAIEDA appears in the conferense
room of The United Nations and appeals to the world for the foundation of The
Silent Service as a kind of supernational peace keeping force, which consists of
the nuclear submarines not belonging to any country. But then he is shot by a
terrorist and "YAMATO" is also attacked and sunk.
Supernationalism or globalism is truly an ideal concept, but its realization
will take about 200 years from now. Because minorities of the tribes or races
are fighting with the oppites all over the world while most of the major powers
are still selfish.
