You know that this wouldn’t take long. According to a report in Variety:
The Viacom-owned cabler, (Spike TV) has greenlit a pilot for “Pirate Hunters: USN” a docu series from 44 Blue Productions (“The True Story of Black Hawk Down“) that will focus on the U.S. Navy’s antipiracy operations in the Gulf of Aden.
Spike and 44 Blue have struck a deal with the Navy allowing the producers and network to place cameras aboard both the USS Boxer and the USS San Antonio.
Hmmm, if Navy SEALs are involved this will certainly add a new dimension to the reality TV traditional “elimination round.”

Thanks Peter for some insight on the matter! I am currently undertaking a research project at the University of Bristol in the UK – perhaps we could share ideas on the matter?
Best,
Lucas
