China - a growing threat

A joint research project between Japan and America yields a stable, fusion reactor. Of course, good news like this doesn't stay secret and the Chinese decide they must have the specs and the reactor. They send a task force replete with aging hulks and newly purchased Russian ships to a Japanese Island, daring to confron the Seventh Fleet and violate Japanese territory. The task falls to a reservist Commander Ben McGuire to secure the island, safeguard the secrets and get the scientists out of harm's way. A pretty good book. I thought some of the interpersonal stuff was distracting, but when it got down to action it read well.
