Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, also known as L. Ron Hubbard, was born on March 13, 1911 in Tilden, Nebraska. Hubbard attended George Washington University's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. He studied civil engineering from 1930 to 1932. He left the university to pursue his writing career. He wrote mostly science fiction articles for pulp magazines and novellas. In the late 1930's, he wrote the novel "Final Blackout" which told the story of Europe engulfed in war. L. Ron Hubbard joined the United States Navy in June 1941. He was eventually given the command of USS YP-422 based in the Atlantic, then the subchaser USS PC-815 based in the pacific. In 1945 USS PC-815 was involved in an incident involving shells being launched at an island, which turned out to be inhabited and a part of Mexico. Hubbard was relieved of his command of both vessels. L. Ron Hubbard in June of 1950 published, "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health." Hubbard expanded Dianetics into a secular philosophy which he called Scientology. Hubbard soon declared Scientology a religion and founded the first Church of Scientology in 1953. The Church of Scientology is considered by the United States Internal Revene Service (IRS) to be a tax-exempt religious nonprofit organization. In the 1980's L. Ron Hubbard was again writing science fiction, publishing "Battlefield Earth" and "Mission Earth." L. Ron Hubbard died on January 24, 1986.
