"Yeah, I remember cleaning stacks and boilers, and also removing and replacing all the asbestos insulation during yard periods. Now I have it all in my lungs. USS Lester (DE1022) & USS Semmes (DDG18)"
"I was stationed aboard the Uss Lester and the USS Semmes in the boiler room. I suffer from asbestos related lung disease and hearing loss. I was proud of my service. I wish they were still proud of me."
