Story
121,000 merchant vessels worldwide. Nine million cargo containers entering
U.S. ports annually. U.S. Navy and government officials fear seagoing
cargo vessels will make a perfect platform for another terrorist attack
against the United States. As a preventative measure, they want to identify
and track all merchant ships with the precision characteristic of the
Navy’s monitoring of Soviet submarines during the Cold War.
