   Limitations

   Secondary compilations, not contract records - the drydock table's own header warns builder attribution is incomplete. Builder conflict unresolved: both shipbuildinghistory tables and the jounin.jp notes name Tidewater Construction Co. for ARDC-3, while NavSource and the jounin builder column carry 'V. P. Loftis' (the documented builder of lead ship ARDC-1) - the Loftis entry on this page may be a class-header carryover. NavSource's specifications block for this hull (288 ft / 1,200 t / 1,900-ton lift) matches the steel 'AFDL Lengthened' type, not the ARDC concrete design - treated as a copy error; correct class figures (389 ft, 2,800-ton lift) come from the BuSandA official history in ev-02. The compiler's 8,300-ton/389-ft figures are consistent with that official description. No asbestos information in any of these sources.

   Finding

   Type identity: the Bureau of Yards and Docks official history documents that the wartime 'ARDC - Auxiliary Repair Dock, Concrete' was a 'mobile, military concrete trough type, unit dock with faired bow and stern, 2,800 tons lifting capacity' - thirteen monolithic reinforced-concrete docks 389 ft long, 84 ft wide, 40 ft deep overall, of 3,300 cubic yards of concrete each; eight built at Wilmington NC and five at San Pedro CA in excavated dry basins; six militarized/self-contained with diesel-electric plants and crews of five officers and 84 men, the other seven shore-powered; 'five of the self-contained docks of this class were towed to advance bases in the Pacific or to Pearl Harbor.' The same history records the 1946 reclassification under which the ARDCs became 'AFDL(C)' hulls - the plain-number AFDL 34-46 series in service. NavSource and the jounin.jp compilation both date this hull's renumbering to AFDL-36 on 1 August 1946.

    Finding

    Class/era asbestos inference (not ship-proven): the ARDC design documented in the BuSandA history is a monolithic reinforced-concrete trough dock - the hull structure itself carried no steel-ship insulation suite - but militarized hulls carried diesel engines, AC generators, air compressors, refrigerating/heating/ventilating equipment, water evaporators, traveling cranes, repair shops, and crew spaces in the wing walls, whose gaskets, packing, electrical insulation, millboard, thermal insulation, and brake linings 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 dock's documented function was lifting era vessels for underwater-hull work at Pearl Harbor and Guam - including the wooden-hulled SC-654 and other combat-era hulls - placing its crew and repair parties in sustained contact with vessels whose insulation suites commonly contained asbestos.

A non-propelled concrete dock had a smaller machinery and inhabited-space footprint than a steam combatant and no insulated steel hull, so plausible onboard loading is correspondingly lower; the occupational pathway (work on and under era vessels - 65 serviced per the compilation) is correspondingly larger. Does not establish that asbestos was or remains aboard, nor quantity, individual exposure, or causation. The hull left U.S. custody in 1947 - any present-day material status belongs to the ROC-era record and is undocumented.
