- Official DANFS record for this hull: Admirable-class minesweeper (dp. 650; l. 184'6"; b. 33'; dr. 9'9"; s. 14.8 k.; cpl. 104; a. 1 3", 4 40mm.). Laid down 8 April 1942 at Tampa, Fla., by the Tampa Shipbuilding Co., Inc.; launched 18 October 1942, sponsored by Mrs. Ann Pillsbury Fehr; commissioned 20 April 1943, Lt. Comdr. A. M. White, USNR, in command. Departed Tampa 23 April 1943; shakedown in the Gulf of Mexico; Hampton Roads 23 June; five months ASW/minelaying/minesweeping training out of Little Creek; departed Norfolk 28 November with Luzon (ARG-2); Panama Canal 8 December; San Diego 18 December. West Coast Sound School tests January 1944; proceeded independently to Adak, sonar gear damaged in heavy seas; arrived Kuluk Bay 6 February and dry-docked. Assigned TG 91.2 on 13 February; 18-month Aleutians tour escorting merchant and troop ships to Kodiak, Dutch Harbor, Amchitka, Kiska, Cold Bay, Attu; four availabilities alongside Black Hawk (AD-9) at Adak for williwaw/heavy-seas damage. July 1944 began clearing the Chiniak Bay minefield off Kodiak; lead ship of a group (Augury AM-149, Agile AMc-111, Affray AMc-112, YMS-285) that swept the channel to St. Paul's Harbor from 2 August 1944 and patrolled for President Roosevelt's arrival aboard Baltimore (CA-68); FDR stopped at Kodiak 7 August 1944. Escort duty into March 1945; 14 March her CO was OTC of eight ships and aircraft in a Kuluk Bay air-surface exercise. May 1945 repairs at Dutch Harbor preparatory to Lend-Lease transfer (12 ft of forward end of each bilge keel and sonar gear replaced); Rear Admiral B. D. Popov inspected and accepted her 30 May; Soviet crew aboard 18 June for one month of training; decommissioned and transferred to the Soviet Navy 18 July; served as T-521; never returned. Reclassified MSF-136 on 7 February 1955; carried on the U.S. Navy list until struck 1 January 1983.

- Finding
- Official NHHC monograph built on U.S. and Russian Federation archival records unavailable during the Cold War. Appendix row for this hull: 'Admirable (AM 136) | T-331 | 19 Jul. | 1958-stricken' - i.e., Soviet designation T-331, transferred 19 July 1945, stricken 1958. Program context from the text: all Project Hula transfers physically occurred at Cold Bay, Alaska (Fort Randall), where ~12,000-15,000 Soviet personnel were trained; Admirable-class minesweepers formed the core of the Soviet 16th Mine Sweeper Division; transfer vessels arrived with 200-900 shortage items each; ships needing repair beyond Cold Bay's facilities made the ~400-mile round trip to Dutch Harbor - which explains the 'Dutch Harbor' transfer attribution in secondary sources. Post-war: U.S.-Soviet return negotiations ran from February 1946; most transferred minesweepers were never returned; ONI reported only nine Admirable-class minesweepers remained serviceable among Hula ships at settlement time.

- Finding
- Era/design inference: this hull is a 1942-built steel Admirable-class minesweeper with a diesel direct-drive twin-screw plant (two ALCO 539 diesels, Farrel-Birmingham single reduction gear) - no boilers, no steam distribution. Its insulation load was materially lighter than a steam combatant's, but machinery and construction materials of the 1942 wartime era were commonly asbestos-containing: exhaust-system and muffler lagging, machinery gaskets and packing, electrical-cable insulation, accommodation/galley joiner insulation, winch and windlass brake linings, and deck compositions of the period. Exposure-relevant populations if any material was present: TASCO Tampa-yard construction trades (1942); the wartime U.S. crew (design complement ~104) across the Gulf shakedown, Atlantic transit, and 18-month Aleutians escort tour - with the documented repair periods (post-transit Adak dry-dock, four availabilities alongside Black Hawk AD-9, the May 1945 Dutch Harbor pre-transfer refit replacing bilge-keel sections and sonar gear) as the heaviest machinery-space disturbance episodes; the Soviet crew and transfer trainees of 1945-1958; and Cold Bay transfer-program personnel.

- Absence of a located public record does not prove absence of asbestos aboard - a 1942-built vessel is era-consistent with asbestos-containing materials even accounting for its lighter diesel insulation load. The hull was scrapped in the USSR in the 1950s, so no present-day survey pathway exists; Soviet-era maintenance and disposal records are inaccessible. RECAP docket-index sweeps and several variant opinion queries were throttled (HTTP 429, shared 2,800/day quota exhausted by prior batch work) and not retried - residual risk that a differently-phrased hull reference exists is logged as a gap.

(b) Transfer date - DANFS/NavSource/uboat '18 July 1945'; Russell appendix '19 Jul.'

(c) Transfer location - NavSource/uboat 'Dutch Harbor'; Russell's program record places all Hula transfers at Cold Bay (Fort Randall) and documents Dutch Harbor as the repair facility ~400 miles away; Admirable did repair at Dutch Harbor in May 1945 per DANFS - Cold Bay carried as the transfer site with the discrepancy flagged. (d) Disposal - Colton 'scrapped 1954'; NavSource 'Scrapped 11 March 1958'; Russell '1958-stricken,' with Wikipedia's Russell-derived text reading 'apparently sold for scrap' - stricken 1958 carried; scrap date discrepant. (e) Propulsion - NavSource 'Two 1,710shp ALCO 539 diesel engines, Farrel-Birmingham single reduction gear, two shafts' (direct drive); HyperWar class block 'Diesel-electric engines, twin screws, 1,800 h.p.' - the documented reduction-gear fit contradicts 'diesel-electric'; NavSource carried, per-engine vs total rating (class article: 855 shp each) noted. (f) Specs - DANFS/NavSource 650 t / 14.8 kts / 9'9" draft vs HyperWar class block 625 t / 15 kts / 10' draft - DANFS carried.

- No case located names this hull (see negative_finding row and search_ledger). Doctrinal context only for the vessel's type: claims arising from WWII-era Navy-vessel asbestos exposure ran under maritime law against equipment manufacturers, and the Supreme Court's DeVries decision settled the 'bare-metal defense' framework - manufacturers that supplied bare equipment had a duty to warn where their products required asbestos-containing parts. It illustrates the litigation posture claims arising from service aboard a WWII diesel minesweeper would have faced; no such claim naming Admirable was located.
