Let $FG$ be the group algebra of a finite $p$-group $G$ over a
finite field $F$ of characteristic $p$ and let $*$ be the
classical involution of $FG$. The $*$-unitary subgroup of $FG$,
denoted by $V_*(FG)$, is defined to be the set of all normalized
units $u$ satisfying the property $u^*=u^{-1}$. In this paper we
give a recursive method how to compute the order of the
$*$-unitary subgroup for certain non-commutative group algebras.
A variant of the modular isomorphism question of group algebras is
also considered.
