Population
Dock operating crew (officer-led detachment, complement undocumented)

Limitations
Compiled secondary archive, not an official record. Two internal problems: (a) 'placed in service ... at Subic Bay P.I. in 1944' is a compressed milestone - the dock was delivered January 1944 at a Gulf Coast builder while Subic Bay remained Japanese-held until early 1945, so the 1944 in-service date and the Subic station cannot be contemporaneous; the dated photographs (ev-02) verify Subic by September 1945. (b) The spec block (1,200 t, 288 ft, 1,900 t) carries the lengthened-AFDL class figures - this hull was a standard AFD (200 ft, ~1,000-ton class per the official design description and the 800/200 build-table row), not one of the five lengthened AFDs. Ribbon display is generic for the craft type and does not independently document the theater. No asbestos information.

Dated photographic record of wartime station: NavSource's USS LSM-129 page carries three photographs captioned 'USS LSM-129 dry docked in AFD-24 at Subic Bay, P.I., circa 5 to 10 September 1945,' contributed by Donald F. Liebmann (who became LSM-129's commanding officer 14 October 1945). One caption adds 'the Quonset hut is home for the dry dock crew' - documenting an occupied Navy crew operating the dock at Subic. LSM-129 (203 ft 6 in, ~1,095 t loaded, 34 ft 6 in beam), a veteran of the Palawan landings and the Balikpapan operation, fit within the AFD's 45-ft clear width - a documented customer of the dock's wartime lifting service.

Finding type

Finding
Built as AFD-24 to the Bureau of Yards and Docks standard AFD design: 'Mobile, military, steel trough type, unit dock, with faired bow and stern, of 1,000 tons lifting capacity' - trough type, 200 feet long and 64 feet wide, 45 feet clear inside the wing walls, 14.5 feet draft over the blocks, entirely welded-steel construction, 'fully self-contained, with diesel electric power plants' and limited repair facilities; construction distributed among five contractors at six plants; intended for docking minesweepers, patrol craft, and similar vessels. The separate 'AFDL - Auxiliary Floating Dock, Lengthened' wartime category covered five AFDs modified with an 88-foot midbody to 288 ft/1,900 tons - AFD-24 was not among them (the lengthened hulls per consistent compilations were AFD-7, -12, -22, -23, -26). Under the 1946 nomenclature revision 'the AFD's became AFDL's' (Auxiliary Floating Drydock Little, under 10,000 tons); NavSource gives this hull's redesignation as 1 August 1946.

Limitations
Class-level official design text applied to this hull through its verified AFD-24 designation and the consistent 800/200 build-table row; the chapter does not name AFD-24. Establishes type, dimensions, and that she was not a lengthened dock - which in turn exposes the NavSource spec block's 288-ft/1,900-t figures as class-generic for this hull.

The compiler's own yard history places the firm's shipyard 'at the Lake Pontchartrain end of the Industrial Canal' - i.e., New Orleans - while the drydock table's location column reads 'Mobile AL' for the whole AFD-24-through-29 group; the successor firm's history (Volkert centennial) records that Doullut & Ewin built 'self-operating docks in both New Orleans and Mobile' during WWII, so a dual-city program is documented but the per-hull yard attribution is unresolved.

Chapter IX, 'Auxiliary Floating Dock' paragraph (diesel-electric power plants, self-contained, limited repair facilities)

Finding type
asbestos_application

Finding
Class/era inference only: the AFD design was a fully self-contained welded-steel trough dock carrying a diesel-electric power plant, ballast/pumping machinery, and limited repair facilities, built 1943-44 under a Navy contract - machinery whose gaskets, packing, electrical insulation, millboard, and thermal insulation in wartime Navy construction were era-consistent with asbestos-containing materials. The dock's working purpose - lifting small combatants for underwater-hull repair - placed her crew in sustained contact with era vessels whose own insulation suites commonly contained asbestos. Her uninterrupted service into the Philippine Navy era (transferred 1948, reported active through at least 2011) means any installed-era materials would have persisted unless abated under a program no located record documents.

Limitations
Design-level inference, not a hull record - the BuSandA history does not mention asbestos and does not name this dock; no survey, materials schedule, plan sheet, or disclosure names AFD-24. A non-propelled floating dock had a far smaller machinery and inhabited-space footprint than a steam vessel, so plausible onboard loading is correspondingly lower; the larger inferred pathway is occupational contact with customer vessels. Establishes nothing about quantity, condition, presence at transfer or today, individual exposure, or causation.

GAO documented the Navy's asbestos-protection program: the Navy did not begin substituting alternative insulation materials until the early 1970s, and standing policy removed asbestos insulation only when damaged or required for repairs - meaning original-era insulation typically remained in place aboard WWII-era craft unless a yard period disturbed it.
