Recall Ms. Elaine Thomas, the former Director of Metallurgy at Bradken Inc. who disagreed with contractural requirements concerning the steel used in Navy submarine construction? We covered the initial story here:<\/p>\n

Auburn woman falsified steel tests for Navy subs for 32 years. Now she faces prison<\/h3>\n

The former lab director of the U.S. Navy\u2019s leading supplier of high-yield steel castings for submarines was sentenced to prison Monday in U.S. District Court for falsifying steel-strength tests for about half of castings it produced for the Navy for 32 years.<\/p>\n

Elaine Thomas, 67, was the director of metallurgy at Bradken Inc. She was sentenced to two years, six months in prison for major fraud after she pleaded guilty to the crime in November. According to a news release from the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the Western District of Washington, the Auburn woman also will have to pay a $50,000 fine.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors requested Thomas be sentenced to nearly six years in prison. At her sentencing hearing, U.S. District Judge Benjamin Settle described the crime as one of \u201cpride and ego, that in some way she knew better than those who set the standards.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As a former Navy tester I\u2019m appalled at the arrogance of this woman. Also astounding is how long she was able to get away with falsifying her test data. The boys and girls at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center fell victim to complacency, and were derelict in their duties concerning due diligence for requirements verification.<\/p>\n

Thanks, David.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
