THE HORN

A  group of Somali pirates have become allied with Al Shabaab, the Islamic radicals who control most of Somalia, and they have acquired Russian-made missiles, making them more dangerous than ever before.

Lieutenant James Truman, an instructor at the U.S. Naval Academy writes a research paper arguing that the best way to fight piracy off the Horn of Africa is with small ships. His paper specifically describes a luxury yacht equipped with advanced weaponry and a crew and passengers who appear to be ordinary civilians.

Truman's paper is stamped Top Secret. It will never be published.

What happens next comes as a complete surprise to Lieutenant Truman. The Navy orders him to command the mission and gives him a ship and crew, including an elite SEAL team and beautiful female sailors. He is ordered to find the pirates and destroy them.

But some of the admirals are worried that mixing sexes on such a small ship is a bad idea. Will the yacht become a Love Boat, or will it perform as advertised in Truman's paper?
