[2]U.S. Naval Institute, Proceedings, 'Tomorrow's Fleet,' January 1979, coastal minesweepers table and explanatory note. [other_primary]
- Locator
- Coastal Minesweepers table, 'For Saudi Arabia' heading, F-MSC-324 row; explanatory note below table defining F-prefixed hull numbers as foreign navies.
- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- The January 1979 U.S. Naval Institute fleet table lists F-MSC-324 as Al-Wadeeah (416) in the coastal minesweepers section headed 'For Saudi Arabia'; the table's explanatory note states that hull numbers prefixed F are for foreign navies. This identifies the record target as the Saudi vessel Al Wadeeah, not a USS-designated U.S. Navy ship.

- Limitations
- Contemporaneous professional naval periodical, not a U.S. Navy service record. It supports the foreign designation, Saudi association, displayed name and pendant, and builder listed in the table. It does not establish individual commissioning or transfer dates, subsequent service, present status, asbestos content, or exposure.

- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazmat disclosure, or other direct asbestos documentation was located in the public-source searches completed for this record. Asbestos presence aboard Al Wadeeah remains unknown. The required CourtListener litigation queries could not be completed because the authenticated helper reported a multi-hour daily-quota wait; this row is not a finding that no litigation exists.

- A bounded public-web search and blocked litigation searches cannot establish that records do not exist. No claim is made about asbestos aboard, asbestos absence, any person's exposure, causation, or legal eligibility. Authenticated CourtListener work remains incomplete pending quota reset.
