Bio:
The Sea Shimmer is publicly a deep sea exploration tender, carrying a submersible which can explore the ocean bed looking for valuable minerals and salvaging from wrecks.
However, the truth is that while Captain Jerome Navarro and his largely Filipino crew do some of that kind of work, their far more lucrative employment is found in using the Shimmer’s submersible to covertly smuggle weapons, contraband and even people in or out of the despotic regime in Britain. Thus the two carefully concealed 30mm autocannon for when the British patrol boats get too nosy.
