Asbestos is commonly used on military ships and a very valuable resistance to heat and fire. All ships built by the Navy before the mid-70s was filled with asbestos-containing materials. The material is widely used in machinery & boiler room and other areas including mess rooms, bedrooms, and navigation rooms. Products such as cables, gaskets, valves, Adhesives and other asbestos also.
Any personnel working in Naval construction, repair, demolition, renovation or this ship is exposed to the possibility of asbestos. As a result, many veterans are diagnosed with the disease because of asbestos exposure they face for the military.
