In page Asbestos:

"

Approximately 100,000 people in the United States have died, or are terminally ill, from asbestos exposure related to shipbuilding.[citation needed] In the Hampton Roads area, a shipbuilding center, mesothelioma occurrence is seven times the national rate.[13] Thousands of tons of asbestos were used in World War II ships to insulate piping, boilers, steam engines, and steam turbines. There were approximately 4.3 million shipyard workers in the United States during the war; for every 1,000 workers, about 14 died of mesothelioma and an unknown number died of asbestosis.[14]
