While scouring through the internet for books or more information about the USS Hanson
we found a special person that served aboard the ship. The subject's name is
Salvatore Albert Lombino,
or AKA Ed McBain, the writer/screenwriter.
He wrote his first murder mystery titled "Chalk" while serving
on the Hanson. After receiving positive reviews form his fellow sailors he decided to become a writer.
In his memory, we have added him to our crew roster under his
birth name. Salvatore Albert Lombino,
1926-2005.
