Premises Description

Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility (PSNS & IMF — founded 1891 at Bremerton Washington) is one of four principal U.S. Navy federal shipyards and the primary U.S. Navy Pacific Fleet ship-overhaul, refueling, and decommissioning facility — responsible for nuclear-aircraft-carrier overhaul, nuclear-submarine overhaul, and nuclear-vessel decommissioning across the Pacific Fleet.

Through the asbestos era PSNS Navy shipbuilding, overhaul, refueling, and repair operations used extensive asbestos-containing marine materials throughout Navy ship maintenance work in confined shipboard spaces.

Plaintiffs alleged in publicly filed U.S. asbestos personal-injury and wrongful-death litigation that Puget Sound Naval Shipyard exposed federal shipyard workforce and Navy ratings to extensive asbestos.

Workers Exposed

  • Federal shipyard machinists, pipefitters, boilermakers, electricians, insulators at PSNS Bremerton
  • Navy machinist mates and engineering ratings aboard ships under overhaul at PSNS
  • Contractor trade workers dispatched to PSNS

If You Worked at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard

If you worked at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard during the asbestos era — as a federal shipyard employee or as a Navy rating aboard a ship at the yard — and have since been diagnosed with mesothelioma, asbestosis, lung cancer, or another asbestos-related illness, you may have legal rights.
