The Lone Destroyer III: Dismantled

The story starts in 2048, 2 years after the events of the stand alone story: The Last Marine (which later was remastered and re-titled as The Last Captain). The world is in ruins, all that's left of civilization are the barren wastelands and destroyed landmarks. Russia has went berserk and has striked America at its core: Washington D.C.. Using nuclear weapons, America is now reduced to ashes and soon, other countries used nuclear weapons as well, against all of their enemies.

Then in present time..All is quiet....There was nothing left in America. Cities gone. The forests burned...And most importantly, no government. But all that changes when former Secretary of Defense Alex Travis takes the oath of Office as President of the United States. The Legislative Branch is now starting itself up. Surviving members of House of Representatives and the US Senate now reside in the countries's new capital: Norfolk, Virginia.

Captain Daniel Duong, a survivor from Elite City, has returned to Norfolk with a young girl. Weeks after his return, he finds out that most of his friends made it home. His ship survived, so did another destroyer and his brother's flagship the USS Shadow. With the Navy back in action, but with few ships, and the United States Government almost in turmoil, it will be a challenge to get the country back on its feet. Not only that, the real deal lies in Russia....the victor.

Kevin Duong was tasked a political mission to travel to Russia (destination was technically the ports at the Red Sea) and discuss the current situation between America and Russia. Meanwhile, Captain Duong was tasked to secure the Arafura Sea located at Australia where Captain Chandler, commander of the Nathan James was to travel to the Okhotsk Sea and take out several targets that were located more than 100 miles inland. The American leadership has grown weak as most of the military high ranking officers were killed during the nuclear attacks. President Travis struggles to figure out how to rebuild the country with the few members of Congress. Surviving governors are now in several places of the country to maintain order and supervise the American survivors all over the country. In terms of the Naval leadership, the Secretary of the Navy is reaching his final term and no one has been elected to take his place.

Soon, conspiracy dawns on America. After the devastations at sea, Congresswoman Alice Clinton has taken control with her partners. Her primary mission is to divide America into regions so later, there will be no United States. Stripping the powers from Travis and new Secretary of the Navy Catherine Duong, Clinton takes advantage of them and have them execute orders that will lead to America's downfall. With our heroes now in different places in the world and with the villains in control, what will be the fate of America?
