🔹 Mesothelioma Lawsuits for Navy Cruiser Asbestos Exposure

For decades, U.S. Navy cruisers were built with asbestos in insulation, fireproofing, wiring, gaskets, turbines, pumps, and machinery. Sailors and shipyard workers inhaled asbestos fibers during daily operations, repairs, and major overhauls. Many were diagnosed with mesothelioma 20–50 years later. Lawsuits allow victims and families to seek compensation from the companies that made and sold asbestos products used on Navy cruisers.
