The story follows a girl named Akeno Misaki who enrolls into Yokosuka Girls' Marine High School (横須賀女子海洋学校, Yokosuka Joshi Kaiyō Gakkō) in Yokosuka, Kanagawa in order to become one of the highly regarded Blue Mermaids. As Akeno and her classmates set off aboard the fictional Kagerō-class destroyer Harekaze (晴風),[5] an incident with their instructor suddenly leads them to be accused of mutiny. Thus, Akeno must lead her crewmates in sailing the Harekaze as they try to find the truth about what's happening while also avoiding pursuit.

As the ships head off towards nautical lessons, the Harekaze, which is running late due to engine troubles, suddenly comes under attack from the instructor's ship, the Sarushima.

Faced with unfavorable battle odds, Akeno comes up with the idea to use the smoke from the ship's funnel as a smokescreen in order to get a shot in. During this, a small craft leaving the Graf Spee gets hit in the crossfire, prompting Akeno to set out and rescue its pilot.

As the girls try to evade the submarine's torpedoes, the rescued German pilot, Wilhelmina Braunschweig Ingelner Friedeburg, wakes up and helps the crew fight off the submarine.

As ships surround the Harekaze, Shima Tateishi suddenly becomes possessed by something and starts shooting at the other ships until Wilhelmina stops her. Afterwards, it is revealed the ships are those of the Safety Oversight Office, who believe in the Harekaze's innocence and give them some supplies.
