[2]McIntyre v. Northrop Grumman Ship Systems, Inc., No. 3:08-cv-03070-EDL (N.D. Cal.), complaint Exhibit A, ECF No. 1 (filed 2008-06-25); retrieved via Internet Archive RECAP mirror (gov.uscourts.cand.204620.1.0.pdf) [court_record]

- Finding type
- litigation_documented
- Finding
- Asbestos complaint Exhibit A (decedent Edward Lee McIntyre's work-history/exposure exhibit) lists 'ANDREW JACKSON (SSBN-619)' with a parenthetical '(3 weeks)' in an alphabetical roster of hulls worked on or around during his employment as a Mare Island Naval Shipyard painter (2 December 1963 - June 1995; nuclear certified about 1965; apprentice painter then painter, later Production Shop Planner for Shop 71). The exhibit alleges his duties included 'painting newly installed, damaged, and cut asbestos lagging on the pipes of the vessels,' sand blasting, scraping paint off packing on steam valves and gaskets on pipe flanges, and cleaning GARLOCK gasket debris. McIntyre was diagnosed with mesothelioma about 2006 and died 19 July 2007.

- Limitations
- Pleading-stage allegation (scanned complaint exhibit), unadjudicated. The '(3 weeks)' annotation is the plaintiff's own duration estimate; it is not an individualized exposure finding and does not establish asbestos aboard this hull, exposure, causation, or eligibility. The lagging language is a general duty recital across listed vessels, not a per-hull materials record.

[3]Cooks v. General Electric Company, No. 3:07-cv-05451-EMC (N.D. Cal.), complaint Exhibit A work-history, ECF No. 1-2 (filed 2007-10-25); retrieved via Internet Archive RECAP mirror (gov.uscourts.cand.197119.1.1.pdf) [court_record]

- Finding
- Asbestos complaint Exhibit A (plaintiff Alvin Cooks's work-history/exposure exhibit) lists 'ANDREW JACKSON (SSBN-619)' in an alphabetical roster of hulls worked on or around at Mare Island Naval Shipyard. The exhibit recites Cooks's duties as a Mare Island marine machinist (hired April 1974; helper through general foreman): removing and replacing gaskets and valve/pump packing, pipe and valve cut-outs including in reactor compartments, and removing lagging residue, in proximity to insulators, pipefitters, welders and shipfitters.

[4]Halseth v. General Electric Co., No. 3:07-cv-02543-EMC (N.D. Cal.), consolidated complaint Exhibit A work-histories, ECF No. 1-2 (filed 2007-05-14); retrieved via Internet Archive RECAP mirror (gov.uscourts.cand.192004.1.1.pdf) [court_record]

- Finding type

- Finding
- Asbestos complaint Exhibit A (consolidated multi-plaintiff work-histories; section for plaintiff Larry Robinson, a Puget Sound Naval Shipyard pipefitter 1975-2004) lists 'ANDREW JACKSON (SSBN-619)' in an alphabetical roster of vessels he worked on or around. Duty recitals describe repairing, replacing and modifying piping systems on nuclear and non-nuclear ships in engine rooms, fire rooms and reactor rooms; changing steam-trap gaskets; and working in close proximity to pipefitters, laggers, machinists, electricians and painters 'blowing around asbestos dust,' around General Electric and Westinghouse turbines and Johns-Manville insulation.

[7]Era inference anchored to DANFS/NVR-documented construction and yard periods for this hull [other_primary]
- Locator
- construction-era inference from DANFS/NVR dates and yard periods
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- Era inference: a first-generation ballistic-missile submarine built 1961-63 at Mare Island Naval Shipyard in the peak asbestos era would era-typically have carried asbestos-containing insulation, gaskets, and packing around its secondary steam and auxiliary machinery (S5W steam plant, turbines, pumps, valves); the Mare Island construction period itself, the 1973-75 Electric Boat Poseidon conversion, and later availabilities are yard-disturbance windows of the kind in which era insulation was installed and removed. Nuclear propulsion itself establishes nothing about asbestos; the inference attaches to conventional steam-side systems only.

- Name-collision and litigation screen: search-index sweeps for 'Andrew Jackson', 'SSBN-619', and 'USS Andrew Jackson' surfaced no asbestos opinion naming this hull; the high-collision presidential name returns substantial non-maritime material.
