Asbestos in Carriers

Navy Carriers & Asbestos Exposure

The ensuing list provides the carriers that contained asbestos containing materials and exposed countless unsuspecting U.S. Navy Sailors, shipyard and maritime workers and longshoremen to asbestos. The exposure to asbestos can result in the development of asbestos-related diseases such as mesothelioma.
