Space Carrier Blue Noah (Japanese: 宇宙空母ブルーノア, Hepburn: Uchū Kūbo Burū Noa) is a science fiction anime television series produced by Office Academy which ran in Japan from October 13, 1979 through March 30, 1980.
Attacking the Earth with a massive satellite ship called Terror Star, the aliens proceed to terraform the planet to make it their own.
For mankind there is one hope: it's up to Colin Collins and a small band of his fellow surviving students to crew a top-secret submersible vessel that can fight the invaders at sea or in space.
This space ship/satellite was named Terror Star and is capable of traveling vast distances in order to search for a new home planet.
The high generals of Gotham immediately noted that a civilization exists on Earth and even though the planet is not exactly suitable to house the Gothamites, it can be made hospitable by extensive terra-forming.
Because of their spying capabilities, Gotham was made aware of this event and General Gulf decided to launch a preemptive attack on Earth in order to take advantage of the situation where all world leaders are vulnerable in one place.
Because of the tidal forces brought about by the new satellite, the Earth's axis was shifted and geological and environmental disasters like tornadoes, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions occurred.
After the Tempest docked at the bow of Blue Noah, the crew met the youngsters and the Captain learned that Colin's father was Dr. Cromwell Collins who designed the submarine.
After destroying a Death Force sea fortress using the anti proton gun, the pilot who was rescued from the wreckage came about and talked to Captain Noah.
During the course of the trip, the Blue Noah encountered many skirmishes to save humans taken as slaves by the Death Force and also innocent people who were caught in the war.
Among the people that were rescued by Blue Noah were Tara and Kapira – natives of a small island called Gypsy Atoll.
The trip to Bermuda was deferred when Blue Noah learned of the construction of Gravity Control base in both the North and South poles.
En route to N9, they destroyed the biggest Death Force sea fortress in the Panama Canal by using the Anti Proton Gun.
At research center N9, Blue Noah underwent extensive modifications in order to prepare it for space travel using the Aero Conversion Engine.
During this time, Hegeler learned through his scout that most of the 200 million Gotham citizens of Terror Star are dead because of a flaw in the design of the satellite causing the life support systems to fail.
He then concluded that the reason why Zytel decided to stay on Earth and make it their new home is because the satellite can no longer go further to look for a new planet more hospitable to Gothamites because of this flaw in the design.
As Terror Star makes its way to the outer realms of the solar system, Hegeler contacted Blue Noah and talked to Colins never to repeat the same mistakes they did by choosing a selfish leader.
The Tempest Junior mini-submersible is housed in the bow of the ship, large Bison attack helicopter known as "Rocketcopter" is stowed in the stern and the lower decks serve as a hangar for numerous fighter jets.
This enormous energy requirement renders Blue Noah's systems temporarily offline after a single burst of the Anti-Proton Gun, and as such the weapon is used only as a last resort during Earth sorties.
Extensive modifications are made to the Blue Noah prior to the final assault on the alien invaders, enabling the ship to use the Anti-Proton Gun repeatedly in space without the resulting system downtime.
The 2009 anime film Space Battleship Yamato: Resurrection has an appearance by a ship called the Blue Noah, the flagship of Earth's immigration fleet.
