Specialized ships known as minesweepers were built to safely detect and remove naval mines to allow free trade during wartime. Many ships built before the 1970s, including minesweepers, used asbestos extensively, exposing sailors to asbestos and increased risk of mesothelioma. The law firm Belluck & Fox represents veterans and merchant mariners with asbestos and mesothelioma claims, having won over $500 million for clients.

Detection and removal of naval mines is a necessary task for the U.S. Navy, to avoid damage to their fleet and keep their
America’s sea trade operational during wartime. Specialized ships known as Minesweepers were built with equipment to safely
neutralize and remove mines from supply lanes and open water, allowing vessels to transport, trade, and conduct operations
freely.
Ships such as minesweepers, ammunition ships, battle cruisers, amphibious warships, battleships, destroyer escorts, destroyers,
escort carriers, tugboats, floating dry docks and frigates are built prior to the 1970s used asbestos in a great deal of equipment on
board. Boilers, turbines, pumps, and valves were all made from or covered with asbestos, exposing many of those who served on
Minesweepers to the carcinogen. Veterans who have come into contact with asbestos in the line of duty are at a greatly increased
risk of developing the otherwise rare disease mesothelioma.
