(Westinghouse turbine), 8,500 shaft horsepower; construction row - acquired 31 Dec 43, commissioned 29 Sept 44; armament row reads '2 5", 38 cal. (D.P.); 4 3", 50 cal. (D.P.); 2 twin 40-mm A.A. mounts' - the 5-inch count conflicts with the DANFS spec block (1 x 5-inch) and is logged in gaps.

Hull 860) 24 June 1943 at Pascagoula, Miss., by Ingalls Shipbuilding Corp.; launched 6 November 1943, sponsored by Mrs. James B. Hill; acquired by the Navy and simultaneously placed in commission 31 December 1943, Cmdr. Charles D. Schutz in command. Proceeded to Atlantic Basin Iron Works, Brooklyn, N.Y.; decommissioned there 14 January 1944 for conversion to a submarine tender; recommissioned 29 September 1944, Capt. John H. McCutchen in command. Shakedown off New London, Conn., and Block Island Sound; departed Connecticut 6 November 1944; transited Panama Canal 13 November; San Diego; Pearl Harbor; departed 10 December for Guam, arriving Apra Harbor 11 days later; provided services to Pacific Fleet submarines until 10 July 1945, then returned to Pearl Harbor and resumed tender duties. After Japanese capitulation, sailed 27 August for the east coast; transited Panama Canal 12 September; New Orleans 16 September; Yorktown, Va., 3 November (ammunition offload); New London 8 November - began placing submarines of the New London Group, 16th Fleet, in inactive status. Placed in commission, in reserve, 16 October 1946; decommissioned 12 February 1947 and berthed at New London; stricken 1 July 1963 and transferred to the Maritime Administration for layup in the James River; sold to Union Minerals & Alloys Corp. for scrapping in 1974.

    Finding
    Era/design inference: this hull carried a high-pressure steam plant (two Foster-Wheeler 'D' boilers at 465 psi / 765 deg F feeding an 8,500-shp Westinghouse turbine) built at the peak of WWII asbestos usage at a Maritime Commission contract yard, then converted to a submarine tender at Atlantic Basin Iron Works - the machinery configuration for which boiler and fireroom insulation, main and auxiliary steam-line lagging, turbine lagging, valve and flange gaskets, machinery packing, and accommodation joiner insulation of the period were commonly asbestos-containing. The tender conversion added machine-shop, foundry, and repair-space outfitting typical of the type. Post-Navy custody (New London reserve 1947-1962, incl. reported accommodation-ship service; NDRF Hudson River/James River 1962-1974) and the 1974 breaking are the disturbance-phase pathways for this hull.

    Builder-yard litigation context: in Ingalls Shipbuilding Division (Litton Systems) v. Parson, 495 So. 2d 461 (Miss. 1986), a full merits trial before a Longshore Act administrative judge found that Ingalls carpenter Edward Parson Jr. had suffered asbestosis since 1969 and that the resulting respiratory and cardiac ailments caused his 1981 death - Parson 'had spent a great deal of time installing asbestos insulation in ships at the Ingalls yard' over an employment span running from 1939/1940 to 1972, which spans this hull's 1943 construction at Pascagoula. The Mississippi Supreme Court resolved the subsequent state workers'-compensation proceeding on res judicata grounds (the LHWCA claim having been previously litigated), reversing without disturbing the underlying exposure finding. See also Overly v. Ingalls Shipbuilding, Inc., 74 Cal. App. 4th 164 (1999): jury negligence verdict for a mesothelioma plaintiff exposed while working on ships under construction at Ingalls's Pascagoula yard, affirmed on appeal - further published confirmation of Ingalls Pascagoula as a documented asbestos-exposure premises.
