Man who set fire to nuclear submarine gets 17 years

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A shipyard worker who set fire to rags aboard a nuclear submarine because he wanted to go home was sentenced to a little more than 17 years in federal prison Friday for the blaze that transformed the vessel into a fiery furnace, injured seven people and caused $450 million in damage.

Casey James Fury also was ordered to pay $400 million in restitution.

The judge imposed the 205-month sentence under a plea agreement.

The 25-year-old Fury, formerly of Portsmouth, N.H., pleaded guilty to setting the May 23 fire while the submarine was undergoing a 20-month dry dock overhaul at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery.

It's happened to me several times this week, only in LBN.

It's a 'known issue' with the owners.
