P. | Wilmington NC | US Navy | drydock | ARDC-2 | 8,300 | 389 | June 1944 | later AFDL-35, scrapped 1974' - a direct builder attribution (not merely table-section placement).

    Limitations
    Secondary compilation, not a primary record - the compiler's own table header warns that drydock builder attribution is incomplete, and the table carries an internal inconsistency (ARDC 10-13 shown at Wilmington vs the official history's 8-Wilmington/5-San-Pedro split). ARDC-2's attribution to V. P. Loftis at Wilmington is nonetheless directly stated in two independent table sections and corroborated by Wilmington WWII heritage accounts of the two Loftis-built concrete docks. No contract document located. No asbestos information in either source.

    Finding
    Type identity and design: the Bureau of Yards and Docks official history documents that in 1943 'the indicated requirement for a number of additional drydocks, coupled with the critical shortage of steel plate' led to 'the design and construction of thirteen 2,800-ton reinforced-concrete docks, designated as ARDC's' - monolithic open-trough hulls 389 ft long, 84 ft wide, 40 ft deep, with 14-ft pontoons and wing walls tapering 13.5-to-10 ft; six were 'militarized' (three diesel engines, 200-kW generators, compressors, refrigeration/HVAC, evaporators) with crews of 5 officers and 84 men; seven required shore power; all carried a 5-ton crane at 42-ft reach. Eight were built at Wilmington NC and five at San Pedro CA. 'Five of the self-contained docks of this class were towed to advance bases in the Pacific or to Pearl Harbor.' The 1946 revision made 'the RDC's ... AFDL(C)'s.' This hull's ARDC-2-to-AFDL-35 identity is documented ship-specifically by the compilation tables, the NavSource index ('ARDC-2 / AFDL-35'), and the NVR 'AFDL 35' listing.

    The class design, construction method, and five-to-Pacific service statement are official Navy-history facts; application of the type to this specific hull is documented by the ship-specific designation records (compilation tables, NavSource index, NVR). BuSandA does not identify which six hulls were militarized - ARDC-2's self-contained status is secondary-only (Wilmington Star-News quoting historian Wilbur D. Jones Jr. that the two Loftis docks were self-contained). No asbestos information in the source.

    Confirms Pacific Fleet administrative assignment under Service Squadron Two on 1 May 1945; the '(1)' footnote marker's meaning is not preserved in the HyperWar transcription (same unresolved-marker limitation as the sibling AFDL-32 record). Administrative assignment does not alone prove physical location on that date - the DANFS Carib entry shows the dock was still on the East Coast, departing Port Everglades for Pearl Harbor 1 June 1945, so '(1)' plausibly denotes a reporting/transit status.

DANFS gives the departure date but no Pearl Harbor arrival date; a ~4,700-nm tow at 5-6 knots plausibly arrived mid-to-late July 1945 but that is unstated.

A U.S. Navy facility map thus labels AFDL-35's operating basin at Pearl Harbor Navy Yard in 1948, corroborating the DANFS-documented 1945 arrival and establishing the dock's postwar PHNSY station.

    Finding
    Class/era asbestos inference (not ship-proven): the ARDC hull is a monolithic reinforced-concrete structure (~3,300 cubic yards per dock per BuSandA) - no boiler plant and a smaller machinery footprint than any combatant or steel dock. The asbestos-relevant loading is the fit-out: on the six militarized docks, three diesel engines with 200-kW generators, air compressors, refrigerating/heating/ventilating equipment, and water evaporators, plus traveling cranes and crew accommodations for 5 officers and 84 men - machinery whose gaskets, packing, electrical insulation, millboard, and thermal insulation in 1943-44 Navy construction were era-consistent with asbestos-containing materials (per the WWII-era shipbuilding asbestos program documented in Corn & Starr, AJIM 1987). The occupational pathway is the larger inference: the documented function was lifting era vessels for underwater-hull repair at Pearl Harbor for ~28 years (1945-1974) - work by its crew and shipyard repair parties in sustained contact with vessels whose own insulation suites commonly contained asbestos; the 1974 sale-for-scrap is a terminal material-disturbance episode with no located disclosure.

    Archival leads (not retrieved - no reproduction spend authorized): (a) NARA RG 24 deck logs for ARDC-2, 15 May 1944 to 30 June 1945 (Special List 44) - the primary unconsulted source for the dock's East Coast station, crew, and the June 1945 transit entries; post-1947 log holdings under the AFDL-35 designation not yet searched (postwar log inventory is a separate NARA series); (b) NARA cartographic Ship Plan Index microfilm 63531026 (plan for AFDL-35) - potential machinery-layout/materials source; (c) BuSandA contract records for the V. P. Loftis ARDC contracts (Wilmington dry basin) - the authoritative build documentation; (d) the Navy Shipyard Rail Study (2016) itself and the underlying 1948 'Duel Rail System Navy Yard' map at NAVFAC/PHNSY - the original of the 'Floating Dock AFDL-35' basin label; (e) the stricken/sale instrument for this hull (1973-74 NAVSEA records) - not located in digitized sources.
