Ed McBain

Did you know?

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.
