    Finding type
    asbestos_application
    Finding
    The available public hull record places Bahram's construction in 1968-1969 and identifies a diesel, two-shaft propulsion arrangement. It does not identify insulation, gaskets, packing, coatings, or any other material as asbestos-containing.

    Study period

    Limitations
    Construction era and diesel propulsion do not establish asbestos presence aboard this hull. This context row deliberately makes no asbestos-product inference and cannot support a hull-specific exposure finding.

    Finding type
    litigation_documented
    Finding
    The required four base CourtListener searches returned no indexed results: exact-name opinion query "Bahram"; exact-name docket query "Bahram"; hull-number opinion query "PGM-112"; and hull-number docket query "PGM-112". No asbestos-qualified variant was run because none of the base searches overflowed the 20-result page.

    Limitations
    This is an authenticated, fleet-paced index search result, not proof that no litigation or exposure ever existed. It does not establish asbestos absence aboard the hull, causation, product identity, quantity, or legal eligibility. Search queries used the requested PGM-112 identity; the post-transfer pennant PGM 212 was not a required base query and is a remaining research gap.

    Finding type
    vessel_history
    Finding
    The NavSource PGM-112 entry identifies this hull as a PGM-71-class motor gunboat built for Iran by Peterson Builders at Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin; launched 1 July 1968; delivered 24 April 1969; and transferred to Iran as Bahram (PGM 212). The same entry gives eight 250 bhp General Motors 6-71 diesel engines driving two shafts and lists fate as unknown.

    Limitations
    This archival compilation documents identity and basic construction/propulsion data, not commissioning, subsequent Iranian service, present status, asbestos-containing material, asbestos quantity, crew exposure, or legal eligibility. It expressly states that no DANFS history is available for PGM-112.
