The year is 1999, but this isn't the Mars we know. The Red Planet no longer lives up to its moniker, thanks to the arrival of automated alien technology in the 1950's that terraformed the planet and also "gifted" Earth with a trio of space elevator superstructures. Racing to take advantage of the key to the solar system, the great powers repurpose their submarines as ad-hoc spaceships, which return to their original role as they plop down into an alien ocean.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })On this virgin world, the seas belong to all- superpowers like the US and Congo trying to claim their piece of the pie; pirates and revolutionaries running amok on a virtually lawless planet; and mercenary crews seeing the whole situation as a way to make bank.The crew of Skipjack, a Balao-class submarine captained by Jackie Johnson, falls into the third category.Written by Pineapple, Skipjack is an Alternate History science fiction story that reads closer to the unholy fusion of The Hunt for Red October and The Expanse than anything else. | |

| Skipjack / int_a681bfc6 | comment |
Amicable Exes: Jackie divorced Trip years before the story began, but that doesn't stop her from keeping him on the ship as one of the crew. | |

Alternate History | |
| Skipjack / int_a86069f | comment |
Alternate History: Automated alien technology changed the world in the 1950's even without humanity being able to reverse-engineer it an iota. Humanity has a much larger space presence thanks to the considerable lift of the space elevators and Mars becoming hospitable, Congo is a world power due to having the only land-based elevator, and dialogue implies the Soviet Union has fallen to the wayside. | |

Cool Ship | |
| Skipjack / int_bb094e0a | comment |
Cool Ship / Cool Starship: Skipjack manages to be both. It's a WWII-era attack submarine that can double as an interplanetary spacecraft with the right add-ons. | |
