Navy Bases — Asbestos Exposure Records
US naval bases and air stations built before 1980 reportedly contained asbestos throughout their shore infrastructure — barracks, boiler plants, steam distribution tunnels, hangars, maintenance shops, and administrative buildings. Shore-duty sailors, civilian DoD workers, contractors, and visiting vessel crews may have been exposed to asbestos-containing insulation, floor tile, roofing materials, and pipe lagging in these facilities.
Records below draw from VA guidance, EPA/OSHA databases, NESHAP abatement filings, and published asbestos litigation. VA evaluates shore-based and shipboard asbestos claims individually using service, exposure, medical, and nexus evidence. Nothing here constitutes legal advice.
Map shows US naval bases and air stations with documented asbestos exposure records. Click any marker to visit the base's page.

Boiler Plant Insulation
Steam Distribution Tunnels
Barracks Floor Tile (VAT)

Shore Duty Asbestos Exposure and VA Benefits
Shore-based asbestos exposure may support VA service connection just as shipboard exposure may. Veterans should document the installation, assignment dates, duties, current diagnosis, and medical nexus.
Key documents for a shore-duty claim: DD-214 with duty station, any service records listing base assignments, and a diagnosis from a licensed physician. No statute of limitations applies to VA claims.
