Aircraft Carriers?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"\/asbestos\/\">Asbestos<\/a> was used on aircraft carriers because it was a good insulator, cheap to buy, fire-resistant, lightweight, and soundproof.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Navy wanted to reduce the number of serious fires on its aircraft carriers and used asbestos insulation to do so. Products made with asbestos could also be found on flight decks and all of the aircraft that made up Navy carrier air wings, including planes and helicopters.<\/p>\n<p>Asbestos is no longer used to build new military planes, ships, and other assets. However, <a href=\"\/veterans\/\">veterans are at risk of mesothelioma<\/a> today if they served aboard aircraft carriers that used asbestos decades ago since the cancer develops 10-50 years after exposure.<\/p>\n<h2>Who Was Exposed to Asbestos on Aircraft Carriers?<\/h2>\n<p>Anyone who served aboard U.S. Navy aircraft carriers when asbestos was in use could have been exposed. However, some service members were at a higher risk than others depending on their <a href=\"\/occupations\/\">occupations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>High-risk jobs on U.S. Navy aircraft carriers included:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<ul class='columns-2'>\n<li>Aircraft mechanics<\/li>\n<li>Boilermakers<\/li>\n<li>Electricians<\/li>\n<li>Engine room technicians<\/li>\n<li>Firefighters<\/li>\n<li>Insulators<\/li>\n<li>Plumbers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<p>These roles put Navy service members in contact with asbestos products every day for long periods of time.
