Lung cancer isn’t
always from smoking.

Asbestos causes lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis — and it lined the engineering spaces of nearly every U.S. Navy and Coast Guard vessel built before 1980.

Asbestos and smoking together multiply the risk. A great many men assume it was only the cigarettes.

These diseases can take 20 to 40 years to appear. A man can feel fine for decades.

There is a free record of your ship. Service history, yard periods, and — from public BUSHIPS, NARA and DANFS records — where asbestos was used aboard. More than 3,000 hulls.

Seeing the yard periods written out brings back work men had forgotten — an availability nobody has thought about in fifty years, and what they were doing while the yard crews were aboard.
