Well I guess he would have had to been shipboard!!!! Knew I'd get a reaction from you guys!! Too bad he went so young. Being a motorcycle and car guy and just liking the kind of movies he did I don't think I missed a one.

Yeah, but, I never, as in ever, saw a gyrene working in an engineering space, either underway or in a shipyard.
Coulda happened, eye guess, but the Navy has codes for work, and unless you're a USN striker to the rating, they won't let you near it.

I knew a guy who died of mesothelioma, got it as a Nuke on a missile sub doing shipyard overhauls.

Early ones did, in fact, have painted asbestos lagging on secondary steam lines.
I think our later SSN did not.

One of the guys in our SubVets group went to work at a shipyard after he got out, and his old missile boat came through for scrapping.

He was in the main crew's berthing area, all the bunks and supports out, they dropped the main ventilation duct, it was lined with non-sealed, raw asbestos.

All them schmucks all those years on all those patrols, with the original builder not even bothering to paint and seal the asbestos lining.

Try to prove it to the VA.
