Story Idea

Idea about a haunted BattleCruiser. When a worker is smashed within the walls of a battlecruiser as it is being finally constructed, his brother, a captain in the Navy demands to command the ship.

As time goes on, the captain becomes more and more unhinged as he believes his dead brother to be communicating with him. Through his eventual slide into madness, he escalates a tense situation with a Russian cruiser, by firing on it without provocation.

Now facing an international incident, he retreats further into his psychosis as he begins to believe the US government is using him as a tool to draw the country into another world war.

Think Ghost ship meets Below meets Hunt for Red October.

Possible twist, the story's being told by the brother?
