- Finding type
- litigation_documented
- Finding
- Published federal opinion names this hull: asbestos product-liability action by Arnold L. Pritt and Ruth A. Pritt against John Crane Inc. The opinion recites that Arnold Pritt 'served in the United States Navy aboard the USS Purdy as a machinist mate from December 1961 to August 1964'; that 'he installed compressed asbestos sheet gaskets and removed and replaced John Crane valve and pump packing in the engine room of the USS Purdy'; that both tasks 'exposed him to the asbestos dust contained in John Crane's products,' sold without warning labels; and that he was diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma in September 2019. Procedural path: filed November 2020 in Massachusetts Superior Court (Middlesex County) against John Crane, Air & Liquid Systems Corp., General Electric Co., and Viacom CBS Inc.; removed December 2020; amended complaint April 2021 solely against John Crane (negligence, breach of express/implied warranties, loss of consortium). John Crane's motion for summary judgment on the government-contractor defense (Boyle) was DENIED - genuine factual disputes found on the MIL-STD-129/MIL-SPEC warning-label issues.

- Decedent Arnold L. Pritt, USN machinist's mate aboard USS Purdy December 1961-August 1964; widow/executrix Ruth A. Pritt
- Limitations
- Stage discipline: this is a summary-judgment DENIAL - the ship-specific service and product recitals are the plaintiff's allegations recited on the motion record, not adjudicated exposure findings; denial means the claim proceeded, not that it was proven. DD-734 is the only USS Purdy ever in commission - a single-ship name, so the 1961-64 service recital attaches to this hull without collision risk. Does not establish asbestos content beyond the products described, quantities, other locations, causation findings, or legal eligibility. CourtListener cluster ID derived from the syfert.com 'cl-9734015' mirror tag (CourtListener API was fleet-pacing blocked at research time); opinion text verified word-for-word via the vLex full-text mirror of 636 F.

[5]Pritt v. John Crane Inc., 636 F. Supp. 3d 253 (D. Mass. 2022) - Navy product-specification recitals in the summary-judgment record (vLex full-text mirror) [court_record]

- Finding type
- litigation_product_id
- Finding
- Product identification tied to this hull from the published opinion's recital of the record: during Pritt's years aboard USS Purdy (1961-64), John Crane sold the Navy a gasket designated symbol 2150, titled 'Asbestos Sheet, Compressed (Gasket Material),' manufactured under MIL-A-17472 (which incorporates MIL-STD-129 marking requirements and specifies asbestos fiber with natural or synthetic rubber binders and mineral fillers); and the valve and pump packing he handled was described in MIL-P-17303C, 'Packing Materials, Plastic Metallic and Plastic Nonmetallic,' whose plastic non-metallic packing requirements 'listed asbestos as a component.' The opinion recites that Pritt installed such compressed asbestos sheet gaskets and removed and replaced such packing in Purdy's engine room.

- Finding type
- litigation_documented
- Finding
- Disposition record for the Purdy litigation: after Arnold Pritt's death (26 December 2022) the action continued for Ruth Pritt as executrix; on 11 July 2023 Magistrate Judge Bowler allowed in part a second amended complaint - holding general maritime law applies (not the Jones Act or DOHSA), a survival claim could proceed, but loss-of-consortium and punitive-damages claims were unavailable; jury trial was then set for December 4, 2023. Pretrial rulings included denial of John Crane's motion to strike plaintiffs' expert Captain Francis Burger (Navy shipbuilding/specifications) and a mixed ruling on the defendant's 'empty chair' Navy/non-party motion in limine; a plaintiff interlocutory appeal was dismissed by the First Circuit for lack of jurisdiction. A defense-side litigation tracker reports that after eight days of testimony the jury deliberated one day and returned a verdict for John Crane on 23 May 2024.

- Merits-level outcome classified per the less-final-stage rule: the reported defense verdict is a merits-level NEGATIVE for the plaintiffs - the exposure claim was fully adjudicated and rejected; it is not exposure evidence and does not establish or defeat asbestos presence aboard this hull. The verdict report is from a defense-firm case tracker (Goldberg Segalla asbestos case tracker, via JD Supra) - a law-firm source not carried as an evidence citation; the verdict is flagged UNVERIFIED against the docket pending CourtListener RECAP access (fleet pacing at research time).

- Era/class inference: a Sumner-class destroyer built 1943-44 with a four-boiler geared-turbine steam plant (60,000 shp, 2 shafts) would have carried period-standard asbestos insulation, lagging, gaskets, packing, and fireproofing - all Sumner hulls were built inside the Navy's documented asbestos-specification era, and this hull was never modernized under FRAM ('As Built' per NavSource), so original-era insulation would persist into her 1973 retirement unless removed piecemeal.
