The Seventh Carrier

A series of Alternate History novels written by Peter Albano. The basic (and formulaic: the structure stays much the same from book to book) plot has a fictional fourth ship of the Yamato class, the Yonaga, being trapped in ice just before it's supposed to join the Pearl Harbor strike force in 1941. Forty-two years later, the crew finally manages to break out of the icy trap, and sails forth to complete its mission. At the same time, China launches a satellite system designed to disable jet and rocket engines worldwide. One thing leads to another, and Yonaga and her crew of geriatric latter-day samurai become the Free World's first line of defense against an Arab/Muslim alliance led by Libya. Hilarity Ensues.

Tropes in this series include:
