Here's some more casting info.

Looks like an interesting cast, but none of the characters' names ring a bell from the book. Seems that they changed the plot a bit, in the original, barely anybody survived elsewhere in the world, but in the show, survivors seem to be plentiful.

Reportedly, the show is being filmed in San Diego, aboard the USS Halsey (DDG-97), which is standing in for the fictional USS Nathan James (DDG-90), although this is unconfirmed, so take it with a grain of salt.

LT Alisha Granderson - Played by Christina Elmore
LT Jackie Makena - Played by Michaela McManus
CMDCM Hugh Jeter - Played by Charles Parnell
Navy SEAL team leader Danny Green - Played by Travis Van Winkle
Paleo-microbiologist Quincy - Played by Sam Spruell

Kaye T. Bai, thanks for the info mate!

It's been a while since I checked in here, I've been a bit busy lately. Yeah, I am not surprised they changed the plot, I was just hoping they wouldn't go overboard with it.

Then I read the second link you posted ...global warming, of course, I should have known. Typical, politically correct garbage.

UPDATE: has been released! The show will air in mid-2014!

Show looks very different from the book, but that's okay. Some good shots of the DDG's 5-inch gun in action! Good to see more navy-themed shows airing. Hopefully this will increase public interest and maybe bring us some good modern naval sims?

P.S. Eric Dane is looking good!

Here's a pic of a ballcap that was used during filming:

The ship will be DDG-151 in this show, although in the book it was DDG-80. Interesting stuff, now I'm really excited for the show.

Even the USN's official website has some official info; looks like it has official DoD support.
