NEW YORK - April 13, 2009 - Producers had been talking to the Navy about it for months. But
the deal was sealed last week while the standoff with pirates who
had taken Capt. Richard Phillips hostage was ongoing.
Spike television says it hopes to make a series showing the
everyday work of the Navy as it patrols the dangerous waters off
the African coast. No air date has been set.
44 Blue Productions is making the series for Spike. That
action-oriented company has made "The True Story of Black Hawk
Down" and the MSNBC prison series "Lockup."
