Long Beach Naval Shipyard and Port Asbestos Exposure
The Long Beach Naval Shipyard — which operated from 1944 until its 1997 closure under BRAC — maintained and overhauled Pacific Fleet surface combatants and aircraft carriers. Thousands of civilian workers and Navy personnel at the shipyard were exposed to asbestos pipe insulation, turbine insulation, boiler room materials, and deck coverings during ship maintenance operations. The Port of Long Beach's longshoremen worked aboard cargo and tanker vessels whose holds and engine rooms contained asbestos insulation, and ship repair crews at the port's marine railways performed maintenance on asbestos-insulated vessels. ARCO's Carson refinery (now Phillips 66) maintained miles of asbestos-insulated process piping maintained by pipefitters and boilermakers with significant cumulative exposure.
