Summary:

With the emergence of the mysterious Abyssal Fleet, humanity had lost it's naval supremacy. However, there is a presence that can fight back. Ship girls. Those whom possess souls of ships from days past.

Special Type I Destroyer Fubuki arrives at a 'Naval Base'. This place is gathering versatile ship girls as a home & workplace. She begins her life there with a perky greeting, 'It's Fubuki! I look forward to working with you!'

What encounters can she have & ties can she nurture with other ship girls? (parsed machine translation)
