Naval Station Pascagoula
Closed as a result of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure recommendations, Naval Station Pascagoula once occupied 187 acres on Singing River Island, which is located in the Mississippi Sound at the mouth of the Pascagoula River. The station was commissioned in 1985, construction began in 1988, and the station became an operational homeport of Perry Class guided missile frigates in 1992.
The Naval Station had a single pier, with a length of 680 ft. and a width of 80 ft., situated on two levels. Additional moorage space was provided for smaller vessels.
Naval Station Pascagoula was also home to the Navy’s Fleet and Family Support Center, the Housing Referral Office, and the Morale Welfare and Recreation Department.
Shipyard workers at Naval Station Pascagoula were sometimes exposed to mesothelioma while performing repairs on ships. Even though the station opened after the asbestos warnings of the mid-1970s were issued, shipyard workers may still have been inhaled asbestos found in ships built prior to the warnings.
If you were exposed to asbestos while performing maintenance or repair duties on the ships at Naval Station Pascagoula and you’ve developed mesothelioma, it’s important to gather information about the disease and its treatment.
