Destroyer Escorts Asbestos Exposure
Designed mainly for anti-submarine and anti-aircraft battle, Destroyer Escorts are small, maneuverable ships built for the U.S. Navy to defend unarmed Merchant Marine vessels during World War II. They were based on the design of standard Destroyers, but with reduced size, speed, and cost. Over 450 of these ships were built after 1941, though they were reclassified as frigates in the 1970s.
These ships were built during an era where asbestos use was common in shipbuilding, and the carcinogen was found in much of the equipment on board. Boilers, valves, pumps, turbines and other propulsion equipment were often made from or contained asbestos, exposing many sailors serving aboard Destroyer Escorts and increasing their risk of developing mesothelioma.
Belluck & Fox LLP is a nationally recognized law firm based in New York that represents veterans and merchant mariners with asbestos and mesothelioma claims. Belluck & Fox, LLP has won more than $500 million in compensation for its clients and their families. We can help you.
