History

Millennium era

Godzilla: Tokyo SOS

Off the coast of Guam, a United States nuclear submarine detected an unidentified object 280 meters off the port bow, approaching rapidly. The sonar crew confirmed an acoustics print, and the commanding officer ordered full right rudder and all ahead full. One of the sonar crew heard large heartbeats before Godzilla attacked the vessel. Godzilla clawed the outer hull and bit on the submarine's conning tower, holding onto the vessel as it sunk and imploded.
