Asbestos exposure was common on Navy ships, and can lead to Mesothelioma. The USS Bayfield is one of these ships, due being built with asbestos during the 40's at what is now known as Consolidated Shipyard.
Visit the Mesothelioma Cancer Center - Committed to providing the latest, up-to-date information to our visitors in hopes of creating awareness about the dangers of asbestos, mesothelioma, and mesothelioma treatments to learn more.
The Mesothelioma Justice Network provides information and financial support options for mesothelioma victims.
The Bayfield roster mailed to all members who have been current with their dues is in a new booklet format. The old format is available to download: October-2021 Roster

It's official DD 214/Separation Documents, Personnel Records, and/or Medical Records are NOW Online. The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) has provided the following website for veterans to gain access to their DD-214's online: VetRecs This may be particularly helpful when a veteran needs a copy of his DD-214 for any purpose. NPRC is working to make it easier for veterans with computers and Internet access to obtain copies of documents from their military files. Military veterans and the next of kin of deceased former military members may now use a new online military personnel records system to request documents. Other individuals with a need for documents must still complete the Standard Form 180, which can be downloaded from the online web site. Because the requester will be asked to supply all information essential for NPRC to process the request, delays that normally occur when NPRC has to ask veterans for additional information will be minimized. The new web-based application was designed to provide better service on these requests by eliminating the records centers mailroom and processing time
