Surely there must be substantial parts of it that are NOT loaded with asbestos.

I had about 15 or 16 HS friends join the Navy together in summer 61. They joined on a buddy program and all served on the Forrestal and I heard lots about it before joining the army a few months after they left.

If memory serves the Forrestal was our 1st or one of the first nuclear powered ships. Eliminating those hazards are likely more expensive than the asbestos.
