01.造船厂历史
History
The first United States naval station established on the Pacific Coast, Mare Island Naval Shipyard sat on Mare Island in Vallejo, California. The island is located about 25 miles northeast of San Francisco. The shipyard was in operation from 1854 to 1996.
The U.S. purchased Mare Island in 1853 and construction for the Navy Yard began in 1854. The shipyard accomplished a lot of “firsts” for the U.S. Navy. These accomplishments included the first permanently constructed drydock on the west coast, the first aircraft landing deck on a ship, the first electrically driven and the first oil-operated ships in the U.S. Navy. The shipyard also built the largest ship on the west coast at that time.
母马岛船厂是one of the most important ship repair facilities for the Pacific Fleet during WWII. At the height of the war, the shipyard employed more than 46,000 civilian and military personnel. In 1954, the first nuclear-powered submarine was built on the west coast at Mare Island and 17 more were built at the shipyard through 1970. For the rest of its 26 years, the shipyard repaired, dry docked and overhauled nuclear submarines.
该船厂于1996年关闭，作为基础关闭和重新调整过程的一部分。Vallejo市以及私人开发商在Mare Island开发了工业，教育，娱乐，住宅和历史区域。

马雷岛海军造船厂的许多工人可能暴露于石棉。工人的亲人可能也经历过secondhand exposure。结果，许多人患有与石棉有关的疾病，例如石棉病，，，，asbestos lung cancer，，，，andpleuralandperitoneal mesothelioma。People who developed an asbestos-related disease may be有资格获得赔偿。
著名的船只建造和修理
Mare Island海军造船厂活跃了将近150年，是几次主要战争中的关键参与者，建造并修复了几艘著名的船只。这些船包括沃德号号航空母舰和旧金山号，两者都在第二次世界大战中进行了战斗。
Asbestos was used in shipbuilding and repair for several decades when Mare Island Naval Shipyard was in operation. This would have put tens of thousands of shipyard workers and crewmembers who spent time on these vessels at risk of developing mesothelioma.
USS Ward
USS Ward was a destroyer that was quickly built at Mare Island Naval Shipyard for WWI. She was decommissioned in 1921 and recommissioned 20 years later for WWII. After being recommissioned, the USS Ward was sent to Pearl Harbor.
1941年12月7日，当她遇到，袭击并沉没一艘日本侏儒潜艇时，她正巡逻到珍珠港的入口处，标志着美国的第一批枪击事件，该国进入了太平洋的第二次世界大战。1943年，她被改建为高速运输，并再次在太平洋地区派遣战争服务。
1944年12月7日，日本飞机以及一架自杀炸弹袭击者袭击了沃德号号航空母舰，损害了她到放弃船的地步。她被奥布莱恩号号号（US O’Brien）击中，由司令威廉·W·奥特布里奇（William W. Outerbridge）指挥。三年前，他在对珍珠港的袭击中指挥了沃德号。
在第二次世界大战期间，石棉将用于海军船的转换和维修。在战争期间推荐和converted依的沃德和船员的工人将面临患有间皮瘤和其他石棉相关疾病的风险。万博专业版
旧金山号
巡洋舰，旧金山号，于1931年在马雷岛海军造船厂定居。巡洋舰和她的船员成为第二次世界大战中装饰最多的军舰之一，赢得了17名战星，总统单位引用，四枚荣誉勋章，21枚银星和32个海军十字架。
旧金山号号航空母舰在全战的全部活动中活跃起来。她最引人注目的战斗是开普斯佩斯（Cape Esperance）战役，瓜达尔卡纳尔岛（Guadalcanal）海军战役，关岛的袭击和占领，马歇尔群岛的行动以及冲绳行动的袭击和占领。她于1946年退役。
The USS San Francisco was built and operated during the height of asbestos use. Any Navy personnel who may have worked on her or served aboard her would be at risk of developing an asbestos-related disease like mesothelioma.
02.造船厂石棉使用
Asbestos Use at Mare Island Naval Shipyard
Asbestos是一种耐用的矿物质，对热具有高度抗性。由于这些特性，shipbuilders often used asbestosduring the construction process. Products containing asbestos helped control the release of heat and were fire resistant. Such products were desirable on ships.
Mare Island Naval Shipyard actively operated from 1854 – 1996. Asbestos was commonly used during much of this time. Asbestos was used throughout Mare Island Shipyard. The dangerous mineral was often present in boilers, incinerators, insulating materials and other elements of ships. This put those in various shipyard occupations at risk of developingasbestos-related diseases。
马雷岛海军造船厂的石棉暴露
It was common for members of the U.S. military and civilians to provide labor in shipyards and on ships.石棉用于大多数造船厂and aboard most Navy vessels from the 1930s to the 1980s. This likely exposure puts海军veteransat an increased risk ofmalignant mesothelioma cancer。
构造或维护的人战舰，，，，cruisers，，，，驱逐舰andsubmarines在此期间，可能会暴露于石棉。这些人经常在空间受限和通风较差的地区工作，这可能使更多的石棉纤维留在该区域。例如，工程师和机械师面对asbestos exposure。
石棉不再用于大多数制造产品。但是，它在船舶和海军船只中的历史存在可能会使人们处于暴露危险中。从1930年代到1980年代建造的修理或退役船的人们目前面临石棉的曝光。许多造船厂责任，例如安装绝缘和管道，导致经常暴露。
03.石棉诉讼
石棉诉讼和定居点
马雷岛海军造船厂的造船厂工人，退伍军人和游客面临中皮瘤，石棉癌或其他石棉疾病的风险。万博专业版那些被诊断的人有几个索赔选择可以接受financial compensation。
Asbestos-disease victims can seek compensation from thecompanies responsiblefor their exposure. An individual’s claim options will vary depending on each company’s current status. Victims can work with a mesothelioma lawyer to discuss their options and obtain compensation through a lawsuit, settlement, trust fund and/or VA claim (or a combination of these types of claims).
持有石棉公司负责
Some companies that wrongfully exposed workers to asbestos are still viable. In other words, they have not filed for bankruptcy. This means individuals can file lawsuits against such companies, which may result in anasbestos settlement。
例如，Aurora Pump Company提供的柴油泵在1940年代为美国海军船和干船船提供动力，使许多人处于患有与中皮瘤等石棉相关疾病的风险。万博专业版
另一家可行的公司H.B.富勒（Fuller）自1887年以来就一直存在，并提供了用于海军的石棉制造的粘合剂，这些粘合剂已用于海军船舶设备和系统。使用这些产品的人错误地接触了石棉。几个受害者已成功lawsuitsagainst these asbestos companies.
04.提交石棉索赔
石棉公司信托
After exposing unknowing people to asbestos, many companies have filed for bankruptcy. In fact, more than 100asbestos companieshave gone bankrupt since the 2000s. As a result of their filings, many of these companies were forced to createtruststo compensate victims of mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases.
Many Navy and civilian personnel wereexposed to asbestos through their workin shipyards. These individuals used a variety of asbestos products. If a shipyard worker developed an asbestos-related disease, that person can file a claim with that product manufacturer’s trust.
石棉公司信托基金和合格的就业年限
以下公司向马雷岛海军造船厂提供石棉产品。在面临许多石棉诉讼并使无辜者接触石棉之后，这些公司申请破产，并建立了向受害者支付受害者的信托。如果一个人在Mare Island海军造船厂工作并患上了中皮瘤等疾病，他们也许可以对这些公司的信托提出索赔。万博专业版
