- Limitations
- Search was limited by unavailable Firecrawl access and unsuccessful official-source discovery. CourtListener hull-number search reached the authenticated fleet limiter but was halted after it reported a multi-hour stand-down; exact-name search was not completed. This is not a finding that no responsive records or cases exist.
