NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) -- A 20-year-old lawsuit will soon take center stage inside Norfolk Federal Court.

The suit was filed by 27 former U.S. Navy chaplains claiming they were discriminated against by the Navy based on religion.

One of the plaintiffs is Suffolk's Allen Lancaster, who spent 44 years in the Navy.

"From my earliest years I wanted to be in the Navy," Lancaster said.
