I developed few key concepts for a naval history book that explored the attack of a United States ship against a Japanese submarine in Shemya Island, Aleutian Islands, during World War II and some conflicts in Venezuela years later. Some concepts explored the conflicts in Venezuela that took place in the 1960s and 1970s. These conflicts were caused by a number of factors, including political instability, economic inequality, and the Cold War. And another concept explored the Japanese submarine attack that took place on Shemya Island in the Aleutian Islands on June 3, 1942. The challenges I faced in developing these concepts included finding accurate references, synthesizing complex information into relevant aspects, and communicating them in a clear and concise way that was historically accurate and relevant to my client's needs.

El Mejillón

—

Naval History Book

Southwest of Alcatraz Island, off the coast of Puerto Cabello, as part of a lush underwater garden, lies at the bottom of the sea, a small but proud warship that served under the flags of two nations during three decades of hazardous naval service, actively participating in the North Pacific Front during World War II, as well as being a witness and actor of important historical events in the Venezuelan Caribbean during the 'Cold War'.

"El Mejillón P-01" was the first unit of its class assigned to the Venezuelan Navy, at the beginning of the turbulent decade of the sixties, being destined to defend and protect our coasts from threats coming from overseas, especially in the waters of the Gulf of Venezuela. In the pages of this exciting book written by Captain Luis Farage Dangel, the story that concludes with the controlled immersion of the patrol boat and continues with the recognition and appreciation of the Venezuelan underwater, historical, and cultural heritage is narrated.
