List should be available online the first week of August, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs.
VA has not yet posted an updated list of oceangoing U.S. Navy vessels presumed to have been exposed to Agent Orange during the Vietnam War. The list of so-called Brown Water ships should be available at VA's website sometime during the first week in August, officials say.
VA began updating the Brown Water list a year ago. In April, the agency said it was expanding the list from 150 to 170 ships. However, it has so far not made the new list public.
