[5]Negative finding: no DANFS entry; NavSource notes no history available; no NARA/HAER/GAO hull-specific record located [other_primary]
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos documentation was located for USS ATA-122 in any source searched. The hull had diesel-electric propulsion with no steam plant, which bounds the high-temperature insulation applications typical of steam-propelled contemporaries; this is context only and does not establish presence or absence of asbestos-containing materials aboard.

- Ship's company; yard workers at Levingston Shipbuilding, Orange TX, 1942-43
- Limitations
- Negative finding is first-class per BATCH-01 discipline. Per hard rules, propulsion type and class/era NEVER become a ship-specific asbestos finding. NARA/BuShips plan records not searched - archival lead.

[6]cl-auth-search.py 2026-10-06: Q1 "USS ATA-122" opinion OK (HTTP 200, count=10, all collisions); Q2/Q3/Q4 exit 2 pacing stand-down [court_record]
- Finding type
- litigation_documented
- Finding
- CourtListener litigation sweep PARTIAL (1 of 4 base queries completed 2026-10-06): exact-name opinion query for "USS ATA-122" returned 10 results, all classified as name collisions (e.g., Larrabee v. Braithwaite, Fastship v. United States, Flanagan v. Iran - none involve this vessel; matches on numeric/text fragments). Remaining queries OWED: exact-name docket, hull-number (ATA-122) opinion, hull-number docket - fleet-wide API pacing budget spent (helper exit 2, multiple retries 2026-10-06). No qualifying asbestos litigation documented; sweep incomplete.

- Limitations
- Partial sweep: 1/4 legs complete. Per scanner rules, incomplete sweep = NEEDS_BACKFILL. The 10 opinion hits were classified by case name/court only; full-text review not performed but no case name suggests vessel involvement. Hull queries (ATA-122) are low-collision and still owed; exact-name docket still owed.
