Many Navy ships contained asbestos in its construction, posing serious health risks to those who served aboard or worked on the ship.

Asbestos Exposure on Navy Ships

Several Navy ships used asbestos in many components including boiler and engine rooms, piping systems, and electrical equipment. Asbestos was widely used for its heat resistance and insulating properties but exposure to airborne asbestos fibers can cause severe health conditions such as mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis.

During maintenance, repairs or overhauls, asbestos fibers could become airborne, putting sailors, maintenance workers and shipyard personnel at risk. The symptoms of asbestos-related diseases often take decades to appear, making it essential for those who served aboard any navy ship should be aware of the risks.

Who is at Risk?

Sailors who served aboard these ships, especially those working in high-risk areas like boiler rooms, engine rooms or maintenance facilities, were particularly vulnerable to asbestos exposure. Shipyard workers involved in the construction, repair or decommissioning of the ship also faced significant risks. Even family members of sailors may have been exposed to asbestos fibers brought home on contaminated clothing.
