Asbestos Exposure on Amphibious Warships
Amphibious Warships are vessels designed to land and assist ground troops in battle. These ships provide cover and suppressive fire, as well as vehicular support from tanks, helicopters, and various other units brought ashore aboard the ship. Known by the nickname “gator freighters,” Amphibious Warships came into wide use during the Second World War, when the complexity of coastal assaults created a need for highly specialized support vessels.
U.S. Navy ships built from the mid-1930s until the 70s made liberal use of asbestos in much of the equipment on board, such as boilers, turbines, pumps, valves, and other propulsion equipment. It is likely that most veterans who served on Amphibious Warships built prior to the 1970s were exposed to some level of asbestos, leaving them susceptible to mesothelioma.
