So, my friend introduced me to this new show/book called the Last Ship. Pretty interesting. Here's the premise: 

After a new global pandemic kills or sickens possibly over 90% of the world's population, the crew (consisting of 217 men and women) of a lone unaffected U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer, the fictional USS Nathan James (DDG-151) on deployment in the arctic for weapons testing, must now try to find a cure and stop the virus in order to save humanity. 

I have a few interesting ideas for how to put a little bit of an original twist on the story, ranging from zombification to a much more advanced, yet... Secret... Twist. 

Who'd be interested in sailing under the banner of the US Navy? :D
