What Season 1 of The Last Ship

A viral pandemic wipes out more than 80% of the world's population. The 218 crew members of the USS Nathan James, a U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer, escape infection by being in the right place at the right time. Captain Thomas "Tom" Chandler, played by Eric Dane, commands the ship with a clear mission: find a cure before the virus wipes out what remains of humanity. Dr. Rachel Scott investigates the virus while the crew must face a world they no longer recognize. Missions take the ship to dangerous places, such as Guantanamo, where the team is attacked by former prisoners. Doubts grow aboard the ship when some sailors begin to blame Rachel for what is happening.
