More than 60 U.S. Navy service members became sick after a generator malfunction aboard the ballistic missile submarine USS Nebraska, according to a report.
Crews were operating the submarine’s backup diesel generator during a routine pier shift at Naval Base Kitsap- Bangor in Washington state on June 22 when they were exposed to diesel exhaust fumes, said Lieutenant Zachary Anderson, a spokesman for Submarine Group 9, according to the military newspaper Stars and Stripes.
