DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The U.S. Navy said Tuesday it found 70 tons of a missile fuel component hidden among bags of fertilizer aboard a ship bound to Yemen from Iran, the first-such seizure in that country's yearslong war as a cease-fire there has broken down. The Navy said the amount of ammonium perchlorate discovered could fuel more than a dozen medium-range ballistic missiles, the same weapons Yemen's Iranian-backed Houthi rebels have used to target both forces allied to the country's internationally recognized government and the Saudi-led coalition that supports them.

HOUSTON, Texas (KWTX) - A US Navy sailor has been sentenced to life in prison without parole after being convicted of in the capital murder of his Houston girlfriend who was pregnant with twins. Marcus Levail Murphy, 36, drove from his home in Virginia to Charlotte, NC, then flew to Detroit and on to Houston. Once he arrived in Houston, Murphy went to the apartment of his girlfriend, Ebony Harris, 28, and fatally stabbed her, according to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office. The pregnant mother of two had recently told Murphy she was expecting twins and that they were his, although she was pregnant from another man.

Hundreds of people are still reporting health problems a year after jet fuel contaminated the Navy water system in Hawaii, according to a new report based on a survey by Hawaii state officials and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

YOKOSUKA NAVAL BASE, Japan – Japanese prosecutors on Tuesday indicted a U.S. sailor accused of injuring several people by charging into them at a popular beach near the homeport of the U.S. 7th Fleet. Daniel Krieger, 29, was charged with bodily injury of four people, a spokesman for the Yokohama District Public Prosecutor’s Office in Yokosuka city told Stars and Stripes by phone Thursday. The spokesman provided the sailor’s name in Japanese but declined to specify his assigned unit and rank. Japanese government spokespeople are customarily required to speak to the media on condition of anonymity.

HONOLULU -- More than two dozen families have joined a lawsuit accusing the U.S. Navy of making them sick from jet fuel that leaked into the tap water in their Hawaii homes. There are now more than 100 people in an amended lawsuit filed Thursday that also accuses the Navy of destroying more than 1,000 water samples collected from affected homes. The families say in the lawsuit the samples could have revealed chemicals in the water.

The Navy’s next-generation guided-missile destroyer could cost up to $3.4 billion a ship, while its next-generation SSN(X) attack boat could cost up to $7.2 billion – figures that are billions over the service’s own estimates, according to the Congressional Budget Office’s annual analysis of the Navy’s long-range shipbuilding plan. The procurement of both SSN(X) and DDG(X) comes as the Navy faces several years of flat budgets heading into the into the 2030s and as several major procurement programs compete for money within the service and with the priorities of the Office of Secretary of Defense. OSD took a more active role in crafting the Navy’s congressionally mandated Fiscal Year 2023 shipbuilding plan.

WASHINGTON — The Department of Veterans Affairs will prioritize claims from veterans suffering with cancers that stem from exposure to burn pits and other toxins by handling their cases immediately to get them access to care and benefits as quickly as possible, agency officials said Monday. “This work is a part of President [Joe] Biden’s vision for the Cancer Moonshot, and it’s a part of his broader efforts to end cancer as we know it,” VA Secretary Denis McDonough said Monday at a National Press Club luncheon. “So, we will expedite veterans' claims if they have been diagnosed with melanoma, brain cancer, neck cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer, glioblastoma, head cancer of any type, respiratory cancer of any type, reproductive cancer of any type, gastrointestinal cancer of any type, lymphoma of any type, and lymphomatic cancer of any type.”

WASHINGTON — Two veterans advocacy groups have filed a lawsuit against the Defense Department to obtain records on criminal prosecutions that they say have been illegally withheld from the public and which they expect could show disparities in how some serious crimes, particularly sexual assault, are punished in the military.

Johnny Wolfe the head of the Navy’s strategic systems programs, told reporters on Tuesday at the Naval Submarine League’s annual symposium.

ARLINGTON, Va. – In the near future, the U.S. nuclear attack submarine fleet will be able to launch and recover an underwater robot from a torpedo tube, Navy officials said this week. The torpedo-sized Razorback — designed to extend the awareness of a submarine— has been in testing on the Navy’s attack boats for more than a year but requires a dry deck shelter and divers to recover the 600-pound UUV. The current procedure has blunted the utility of the system, Submarine Force commander Vice Adm. Bill Houston said on Tuesday at the Naval Submarine League’s annual symposium

ARLINGTON, Va. — The U.S. Navy submarine force is nearly done implementing reforms following an October 2021 undersea collision of attack submarine Connecticut, according to the commander of submarine forces. Vice Adm. William Houston said 27 of 28 major actions recommended in the command investigation have been completed, with the last one set for completion in the spring.
