[6]Batch 2841 research session (negative finding, first-class result) [other_primary]
- Locator
- N/A - negative finding
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos documentation was located for USS ATA-124 / ATR-46 in any source consulted. Asbestos status is recorded as unknown, not negative. No litigation, survey, or maintenance record naming this hull's asbestos materials was found.

- Limitations
- Negative finding from the sources available in a Tier-2 session. Does not prove absence of asbestos aboard the hull. Class/era inference (diesel-electric tugs of this period commonly used asbestos in exhaust insulation, gaskets, packing) is explicitly excluded as a ship-specific finding per hard rules.
