The US Navy has reached agreement with most of those involved in the collison betwen a japanese fishing boat and a surfacing submarine.
The U.S. Navy will pay about $13 million in compensation to the victims of a collision between one of its nuclear submarines and a Japanese fishing boat, Kyodo news agency said Saturday.Nine people, mostly teenage trainee fishermen, were killed when the Ehime Maru was rammed by the surfacing submarine off the coast of Hawaii on February 9 last year.
It bothers me that they took a year to come up with this settlement. I wonder how much the lawyers are going to get, and how much will actually get to the victims.
