| The engine and boiler rooms, damage control and pump rooms are where military personnel had the highest risk of being exposed to asbestos on navy ships. The ward room, powder and shot hoist, powder and shot magazine and turrets 1, 2 and 3 were a medium risk for exposure. Even the Junior Officer quarters, anchor windlass room, pilot house, Captain's sea cabin, mess deck, Admiral's Cabin and the Battery Directors were a low risk for asbestos exposure. |
