	Kaiser Shipyards revolutionized wartime shipbuilding by constructing 1,490 vessels—27% of all U.S. Maritime Commission ships—between 1941 and 1946 while employing over 200,000 workers at peak production across seven facilities in California, Oregon, and Washington. Henry Kaiser transformed American shipbuilding by applying assembly-line techniques from automobile manufacturing, reducing construction times so dramatically that Richmond No. 2 achieved the legendary speed record with the SS Robert E. Peary, assembled in just 4 days, 15 hours, and 29 minutes. The facilities built 821-822 Liberty ships (30% of all 2,711 nationally), 219 Victory ships, all 50 Casablanca-class escort carriers, and 146 T-2 tankers.

	Workers handled asbestos in over 200 different products without protective equipment, with dust reportedly so thick they could not see across a room. Military vessels contained up to 900 tons of asbestos, while commercial ships contained up to 10 tons. Studies found shipyard workers had 5 to 57 times higher risk of developing mesothelioma compared to the general population, with insulators showing 1,703% increased pleural cancer risk and painters showing 1,436% elevated cancer risk.

Studies found shipyard workers had 5 to 57 times higher risk of developing [[Mesothelioma\|mesothelioma]] compared to the general population, with insulators showing 1,703% increased pleural cancer risk and painters showing 1,436% elevated cancer risk.

	The legal landscape for Kaiser workers has produced substantial compensation. Kaiser faced approximately 112,000 asbestos-related legal claims before establishing the Kaiser Asbestos Personal Injury Trust with $1.2 billion in funding. Individual verdicts have reached $34.2 million for a Portland shipyard laborer, while combined industry settlements have exceeded $797 million. Workers continue developing fatal diseases today due to mesothelioma's median latency period of 42.8 years, meaning exposures from the 1940s through 1970s are only now manifesting as diagnoses. California, Oregon, and Washington each provide 2-3 year statutes of limitations from diagnosis.		The legal landscape for Kaiser workers has produced substantial compensation.

	This 30-40 year gap between established scientific knowledge and meaningful safety implementation forms the foundation for successful compensation claims, demonstrating that companies prioritized profits over worker safety despite clear evidence of deadly consequences. The fact that asbestos manufacturers continued marketing their products without warnings, even as workers developed fatal diseases, provides compelling evidence of the corporate indifference that juries consistently punish with substantial verdicts.
