Were you exposed to asbestos in the Navy?

It is now publicly known that from World War II through the Vietnam War, the US Navy used asbestos and asbestos-containing materials in the construction and renovation of its ships.

Veterans were continually exposed to the dangers of inhaling asbestos, but the workers who tore apart defunct ships were at the greatest risk for developing an asbestos-related disease, including but not limited to mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.

U.S. veterans were disproportionately exposed to asbestos and are now disproportionately suffering from the associated diseases.

Asbestos affected a wide variety of occupations and victims include even family members.

Due to asbestos in pipes, no place aboard Navy ships was safe, including sleeping quarters, mess halls, and navigation rooms.
