During World War II, asbestos helped the US Navy manufacture ships quickly and at a low cost. Those who have served on Navy ships were constantly exposed due to the high concentrations of asbestos fibers in damaged and war-torn ships. If you think you were exposed to asbestos while serving aboard the SS Thomas Todd, you may still be at risk of developing asbestos-related illnesses, in which case you should schedule an appointment with your doctor and request an X-ray chest or CT scan.
