Navy Occupations Where Veterans Were Exposed to Asbestos

Throughout the years, tens of thousands of Navy veterans in a number of occupations and assignments risked their lives in service to our nation.  These brave servicemen and women faced many hardships and risks during their military service.  However, they also faced a silent danger: exposure to asbestos.

Countless Navy veterans inhaled dangerous asbestos dust aboard ship or when working to repair or refit a ship stationed at a Navy Yard.  And many decades later, these veterans and their families face the troubling news that exposure to asbestos has resulted in their diagnosis with mesothelioma cancer, asbestos-related lung cancer or asbestosis.

Those who worked in the following Navy occupations were at risk:

  • Boiler Technicians
  • Construction Mechanics
  • Damage Controlmen
  • Electronics Technicians
  • Enginemen
  • Firemen and Fire Control Technicians
  • Laborers, Lathers
  • Longshoremen
  • Machinists
  • Navy Yard Workers/Yardbirds
  • Shipbuilders
