The USS Zeilin (APA-3) was a Harris-class attack transport laid down in 1920 and launched on December 11, 1920. It was commissioned on January 3, 1942, with the hull number APA-3 and it served in the U.S. Navy for 4 years until it was decommissioned on April 19, 1946. During its activities, the ship carried a complement of 667 people on board and had its main missions in San Diego, Samoa, the Solomons, Espiritu Santo, Guadalcanal, Tutuila, Adak, Tarawa, the Aleutians, the Marianas, Ulithi, Iwo Jima, and the Philippines. After the decommissioning, the ship was struck from the Navy List on June 5, 1946, and sold for scrapping in 1948 to American Shipbreaker Inc. For the services brought to the country during World War II, the USS Zeilin received 8 battle stars. An important aspect of determining whether a person is entitled to compensation is to establish the level of impairment, if any, resulting from the disease. To make a diagnosis and determine any impairment, a lung specialist will conduct medical investigations that can include chest X-rays, chest CT scans, and lung function tests. If you believe you were exposed to asbestos while serving in the Navy, you'll need routine follow-up care, such as chest X-rays or CT scans and lung function tests, at regular intervals.
