Plot
Many years ago, people were obsessed with exploring the ocean. As a result, this led to the outbreak of war for supremacy on the water. A new enemy, once appeared from the outside, has become a threat to all of humanity. They were called Sirens.
Sirens used the latest technology, so without much difficulty they were able to conquer the water expanses of the Earth. But people did not want to give up. The international alliance “Azur Lane” was created, which included 4 strongest powers: Eagle Union, the Royal Navy, the Iron Blood and the Sakura Empire. The enemy was broken.
After a while, the best forces of Eagle Union and the Royal Navy are gathering at the base. This base is a strategically important place that can become the front line of battle. Therefore, it requires powerful strengthening and protection. Contradictions arise between the four parties – this becomes obvious. Everyone has a different attitude to the war, the consequence of this is the division of the alliance members into 2 camps.
