Destroyers of the United States Navy (World War II Era)
Following is a list of U.S. Destroyers of the World War II era (ships that were lost are not listed). Many of these ships were decommissioned after the war, however, many remained on active duty into the 1970s. These ships contained a variety of asbestos-containing products. Exposure to these products can cause asbestos-related diseases including pleural disease, asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma.
