Asbestos Products in Navy Ships
Navy ships have historically posed a significant risk of asbestos exposure to sailors and shipyard workers. Asbestos was extensively used in shipbuilding, particularly in insulation, fireproofing, and pipe systems. Sailors serving aboard navy ships, such as aircraft carriers, battleships, and submarines, were exposed to asbestos in engine rooms, boiler compartments, and construction materials. Shipyard workers involved in ship construction and repair were also at risk. The inhalation of asbestos fibers can lead to serious health conditions, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.
Asbestos products onboard ships included insulation, pipes, boilers, cement, sealers, gaskets, cables, tubes, valves, electrical fixtures, wiring, pumps, decking, paints, non-skid flooring, and in bulk headwalls, ship hulls, mess halls, engine rooms, navigation rooms, and sleeping quarters.
