- Per-hull record for APc-24: 'Originally planned as Coastal Minesweeper AMc-160. Laid down, 13 April 1942, at Fulton Ship Yard, Antioch, CA. Launched, 10 June 1942. Commissioned USS APc-23 [sic], 5 November 1942, LTjg. Bernard F. Seligman USNR in command.' Asiatic-Pacific Theater; campaign table lists the New Georgia Group operation, New Georgia-Rendova-Vangunu occupation, 30 June 1943. Post-Southwest-Pacific assignment: APc Flotilla Five (LT G. D. Winsor USNR), APc Group Thirteen (LT D. V. Horsburgh USNR), APc Division Twenty-Five (LT Dennis Mann USNR). Decommissioned 19 April 1946 at Naval Station Treasure Island, San Francisco; struck from the Naval Register 1 May 1946; one battle star; American Campaign Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal (1), WWII Victory Medal. Transferred to MARAD 1947; sold 22 January 1947 to Joseph Campanelli of San Francisco, removed 27 January 1947; fate unknown. Call sign NCOO. Specifications: 100 t.(lt)/234 t.(fl)/258 t.(lim); 103'3" x 21'3" x 9'3"; 10 kts; 3 officers/22 enlisted; troop capacity 66; four single 20mm AA; diesel 145 bbls; 'one Exeter DMG-6 Diesel engine', two diesel-drive 30kW 120V DC generators, single propeller 300shp.

NavSource states 'There is no DANFS history record for USS APc-24 available' and holds no image.

This independently establishes APc-24's one battle star and her presence in the New Georgia operation - the 'APc-24 operations establish service independently' datum, confirmed in an official Navy awards record rather than only in the NavSource page that carries the commissioning typo.

There is NO 'AMC-160' entry anywhere in the index - consistent with the AMc designation being a planning/contract designation only, under which no log series was ever kept. January 1945 is unindexed between the two ranges, and the terminal period July 1945 - April 1946 (through decommissioning) is likewise unindexed. The NARA 'Navy Deck Logs Available in the National Archives Catalog' page lists no APC-24 (or any APc craft) among digitized logs - the logs exist as physical holdings, undigitized.

- Group operating context: APc-25's page states that in August 1943 she 'was at Guadalcanal in LT Dennis Mann's APc Division 25 comprised of APc-23 to APc-29' and that on 13 August 1943 the division 'was directed to take mail and cargo to American Forces at Enogai Harbor, New Georgia, and to evacuate casualties in company with LCT-325.' APc-24 is inside the stated division range (APc-23 through APc-29) and her own page names the same division - placing her plausibly in the New Georgia supply/evacuation run, though her own dated positions are not in the compiled record.

- asbestos_application
- Finding
- Design-level assessment of the asbestos-relevant profile: this craft carried a single Enterprise DMG-6 diesel on one shaft with no reduction gear in a ~103-ft wooden hull - no boilers, no steam distribution system, no turbines. The principal asbestos vectors documented aboard steam-era naval vessels - boiler and steam-drum lagging, steam-line insulation, turbine and condenser insulation - are absent by design in this type. Residual era-typical applications remain plausible but are undocumented for this hull: diesel exhaust and muffler insulation, engine gaskets and packing, electrical insulation, joiner/accommodation materials, and brake linings on winch/windlass gear. The builder was a small wooden-boat yard (fishing boats, tugs) rather than a steel steamship yard, which further bounds - but does not eliminate - the likelihood of naval insulation-specification materials aboard.

Nothing in the cited sources names an asbestos product installed on this hull. Does not establish presence, absence, exposure, or causation for any individual.

Seligman USNR in command.' Corrected to APc-24: the page's own title and CO table name APc-24 with Seligman as first CO from 5 Nov 42; APc-23's own NavSource page shows APc-23 commissioned 31 Oct 42 under LTjg Dennis Mann; and the official Ships' Data build table confirms APc-24 first commissioned 5 Nov 42 (APc-23: 31 Oct 42). The typo does not propagate - APc-24's operations (New Georgia P21-1 star, division assignment, decommissioning, MC sale) are independently documented. (b) Launch date - official SDB and shipscribe say 30 Jun 42; NavSource says 10 Jun 42; the official figure is carried. (c) Engine - official SDB machinery table: Enterprise DMG-6, 400 shp; NavSource reads 'Exeter DMG-6,' 300 shp; pwencycl reads 'National Supply MML-6,' 300 shp - the official figure is carried. (d) Displacement - 258 t limiting / 161 t light (official SDB / shipscribe) vs NavSource 100 t lt / 234 t fl and HyperWar 234 t full - different measures; official limiting figure carried. (e) Complement - 3 officers/22 enlisted (official, NavSource; pwencycl '25') vs shipscribe '21 (1944)' - variance noted. (f) DANFS - none exists; NavSource flags 'no DANFS history record,' consistent with the craft being unnamed. (g) Deck-log indexing - logs exist only under 'APC-24' (Dec 1942-Dec 1944; Feb-Jun 1945); no 'AMC-160' entry exists anywhere in SL-44.

- No qualifying ship-specific asbestos record located: no asbestos survey, abatement contract, hazmat disclosure, or verified docketed case naming AMc-160 or APc-24 was found in the public sources searched (see search_ledger). The vessel does not appear in the Naval Vessel Register (NVR excludes vessels disposed of before 1987) and has no DANFS entry (unnamed craft). As an unnamed hull she appears on no asbestos-marketing ship list - those lists key on ship names. The only hazmat datum located is the builder-yard CERCLA profile (ev-11), which is not a vessel finding. The CourtListener API check could not be executed - authenticated daily quota (2800/day) exhausted at research time - so the litigation surface is incompletely searched.

- Absence of a located public record does not prove absence of asbestos aboard - WWII-era construction and outfitting practices leave residual uncertainty for gaskets, packing, electrical and engine-adjacent insulation even in a small wooden diesel craft. The litigation check is incomplete because CourtListener was throttled (2800/day shared quota exhausted); re-run is a documented gap.

- Finding
- Archival leads (not retrieved - requires research-room or reproduction order; no spend authorized): Navy deck logs for APC-24 covering 12/3/1942-12/31/1944 and 2/1/1945-6/30/1945 (SL-44 indexed, RG 24 - the likeliest primary for stations, operations, repairs, and material events during Pacific service, and the source that would document any yard availabilities); WWII war diaries of the Seventh Fleet/Southwest Pacific commands and the APc flotilla/group/division organization (RG 38 - the division's documented New Georgia operations frame the relevant series); BuShips contract, design, and conversion records for the AMc 150-199 -> APc 1-50 redirection (RG 19 - could hold material specifications for the transport conversion and resolve what the APc outfit added to the minesweeper design); and Maritime Commission sale/disposal records for the January 1947 transaction with Joseph Campanelli (MC records - the likeliest custody document and best lead for any post-Navy commercial identity).
