Comments: I am an investigator with the law firm Cooney & Conway in Chicago, IL. We represent Mr. Don Scott (U.S.S. Navasota, 1950-1953) in claims against asbestos manufacturers.

Unfortunately, Mr. Scott has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, a particularly devastating form of cancer whose only known cause is inhalation of asbestos fibers. We believe Mr. Scott was exposed to asbestos while on board the Navasota.

If anyone served on board this ship between 1950-1953, please contact me.

Comments: I am looking for anyone who remembers a crewmember named Martin Fletcher who served aboard the USS Navasota AO 106, from January 52 to Dec. 55. Mr. Fletcher worked as a machinist, keeping steam-driven pumps operating, removing asbestos from pipes for repairs, and changing gaskets. Unfortunately, Mr. Fletcher passed away from asbestos exposure, and my law firm is representing him in a wrongful death action in the hopes of getting money for his family. Thank you very much.

I was aboard the Navasota from 1952 thru 1954 and had 4 Korean 
tours. Is a list of crew members for that time period available.

It was our mission to refuel the Seventh Fleet ships along the "bombline"
off the coast of Korea.  Also we refueled at other places in the 
Pacific as we were needed.

If any read this, e-mail me at bdy405@aol.com.
