In a move that echoes the thunderous clash of battleships at sea, a renowned Department of Defense contractor from Pennsylvania has been torpedoed with a staggering $4.4 million payout.

Navy Contractor To Pay $4.4M

The waves have crashed hard on Navmar Applied Sciences Corporation (NASC), a veteran defense contractor, with the U.S. Attorney’s Office pulling the anchor on allegations of double-billing the U.S. Navy.

This revelation emerged from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, throwing light on the deceptive undercurrents.
