Asbestos in Light Escorts

Navy Destroyer, Mine Layer, Tender and Light Escort & Asbestos Exposure

The ensuing list provides the destroyer minelayers, tenders, and light escorts that likely 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.

At the Throneberry Law Group, we are intimately familiar with the pain, mental anguish and eventual death from mesothelioma. After attorney Michael Throneberry’s father died from this disease (see My Personal Story), he dedicated his law practice to pursuing justice on behalf of victims and their families.
