A Bahraini shipyard has agreed to pay $600,000 to the families of nine of 10 Norfolk-based sailors killed four years ago in a boiler room accident about the assault ship Iwo Jima.
"It will not make anyone very comfortable," said attorney Stephen K. Carr of New York. "But at least is giving them some solace. I think it is going to help close the door to all of this."
Jeffrey A. Breit, a Norfolk attorney who has also represented some of the families, called the settlement a major accomplishment.
