Hunt of the Sea Wolves

A discussion-based on my novel and screenplay-of modern-day pirates and terrorists intent on hijacking ships to use as weapons of mass destruction.

About Me

Name:
Location: California, United States

I've been at the writing game for over 30 years, starting at a small California radio station. Later, I joined the navy as a journalist and served in Combat Camera Group One for six years. I've freelanced and been on various magazine staffs. Now I'm a reporter. A few years ago, I teamed up with Ron Shusett (who wrote Alien and Total Recall) and co-wrote two sci-fi scripts. They've yet to be produced. My latest effort is "Hunt of the Sea Wolves."

New Navy Ships Designed to Combat Modern-Day Pirates

The U.S. Navy awarded a $208.1 million contract modification to Maine shipbuilder Bath Iron Works to design and build a Littoral Combat Ship, a new breed of speedy and easier-to-maneuver Navy vessel.

The Navy’s long-range plan calls for 55 Littoral Combat Ships, which are designed to meet threats posed by modern-day pirates and terrorists who turn speedboats into suicide weapons.
