    Expanded DANFS entry documents the hull's full Navy chronology: 'A county in the southwestern corner of the state of Montana.' Data line: (AK-161: displacement 7,450 limiting; length 338'6"; beam 50'0"; draft 21'1" limiting; speed 11.5 knots trial; complement 85; armament 1 3-inch, 6 20-millimeter; class Alamosa; type C1-M-AV1). Laid down 1944-06-15 at Richmond, Calif., by Kaiser Cargo, Inc., under Maritime Commission contract (M.C. Hull 2106); launched 1944-09-02, sponsored by Mrs. T. H. Purdom, Jr.; commissioned 1945-01-03, Lt. Cmdr. Olin F. Weymouth, USNR, in command. Fitted out at the Naval Supply Depot, Oakland, then underwent a brief conversion at the Naval Sea Frontier Base, Treasure Island. Departed San Francisco Bay 1945-01-22 for San Pedro shakedown; post-shakedown availability at San Pedro Harbor Boat Co. 1945-02-08 to 02-14. Departed San Pedro 1945-02-20 for the Admiralty Islands; arrived Manus 1945-03-15, departed 03-18 via Hollandia, New Guinea, to the Philippines, arriving Leyte Gulf 1945-03-28. Eight months supplying U.S. bases in the Philippines, with occasional voyages to Borneo, Morotai, and Manus. Sailed for home 1945-12-05; transited the Panama Canal 1946-01-19 and arrived New York 11 days later; moved to Norfolk second week of February; decommissioned there 1946-03-08. Turned over to the Maritime Commission's War Shipping Administration for disposal 1946-03-13, placed in the WSA Reserve Fleet berthing area at Lee Hall, Va., James River, at 4:14 p.m. the same day. Stricken from the Navy Register 1946-03-28. Transferred under a general agency agreement to Dichmann, Wright & Pugh at Lee Hall at 10:15 a.m. 1947-02-26 pending delivery to purchaser the Kingdom of the Netherlands; taken to Hoboken, N.J., where the Dutch government took custody. Renamed Hera (KNSM, Amsterdam); purchased by Bahamas Lines 1963, renamed Omar Express under the Panamanian flag; converted at Avondale Shipyard, Avondale, La., 1967 to a self-unloading cement carrier - Cementos Ponce (1967-1976), then Vanessa (1976-1982); broken up at Veracruz, Mexico, between 1982 and 1984.

    Authoritative secondary compilation (Shipscribe reproduces official Navy/MC record data) - consistent with DANFS on Navy dates and with the MARAD custody ledger on the 1947 delivery (Shipscribe's 'MA sale 28 Mar 47' = the Hoboken delivery date; the legal chain - authorization 1/23, transfer order 2/10, fleet withdrawal 2/26, delivery 3/28 - is documented in the MARAD scans). Class-table complement 69 (1944) is a class-level figure vs the DANFS header's 85 for this ship - flagged, not merged. 'Converted by builder' indicates the Navy outfitting was completed at the builder rather than a separate conversion yard - consistent in effect with DANFS's Oakland/Treasure Island fitting-out.

    Finding type
    asbestos_application
    Finding
    Asbestos-relevant profile of this hull is inference from era and type: a 1944 Maritime Commission C1-M-AV1 built under emergency wartime specifications, when asbestos-containing gaskets, packing, insulation felts, electrical arc-resistant board, deck coverings, and machinery brake linings were standard shipbuilding materials. The design is diesel-propelled (one Nordberg TSM6 diesel, single screw - NavSource specifications; Shipscribe class data), so there are no main boilers or steam distribution lines aboard; the steam-plant lagging pathway documented for EC2-S-C1 Liberty hulls does not apply at main-propulsion scale. One hull-specific datum partially narrows the inference: the MARAD status card's reverse carries a 'Dkcy Blr.' (donkey boiler) annotation - if read correctly, a small auxiliary boiler was fitted aboard this hull, which would carry localized hot-side insulation, but the handwriting read is moderate-confidence and no material schedule exists. Plausible ACM locations on a diesel auxiliary of the era, if installed: exhaust-uptake/muffler insulation, auxiliary-boiler insulation, machinery gaskets and packing, electrical panel board, accommodation fireproofing and bulkhead insulation, deck coverings, and winch/windlass brake linings. Three undocumented material-installation/disturbance candidates: the Kaiser Richmond No. 4 construction (1944), the Oakland NSD / Treasure Island fitting-out and brief conversion (1945), and the Avondale Shipyard cement-carrier conversion (1967).

    Limitations
    Era- and type-level inference only - no C1-M-AV1 design manual, construction specification, or conversion material schedule has been located in public sources, and none of the cited era documentation names this hull. The donkey-boiler annotation is a partially legible handwritten note, moderate confidence. Asbestos presence aboard is plausible-by-era but unproven; the diesel plant reduces (does not eliminate) the expected ACM footprint relative to steam tonnage. Does not establish quantity, location, condition, individual exposure, or causation.

    No qualifying ship-specific asbestos record located: no asbestos survey, abatement contract, hazmat disclosure, or docketed asbestos case naming the Beaverhead hull was found in the public sources searched - the DANFS entry, MARAD record, status cards, and custody documents, Shipscribe class notes, and NavSource page contain no asbestos or materials statement; no hazmat disclosure exists because the hull left U.S. custody in 1947. CourtListener was degraded this session: API v4 returned HTTP 429 (125/day throttle); the web UI completed the broad 'Beaverhead' opinion sweep (527 hits - page-1 results were all Beaverhead County, Montana name collisions) and the 'AK-161' hull-number sweep (1 hit, Viars v. State, Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1982 - unrelated collision), but refined queries ('USS Beaverhead'; 'Beaverhead' asbestos) returned HTTP 202 queued responses and did not complete - the docket-level sweep is incomplete on that repository. A general web sweep found only law-firm marketing listicles naming the ship in generic vessel lists (freeasbestostesting.com, duboselawfirm.com - non-qualifying, excluded per source rules) and no case or claims-facility filing.

    Absence of a located public record does not prove absence of asbestos aboard - a 1944 USMC-built hull is era-consistent with asbestos-containing materials. CourtListener degradation means docket-level litigation is unverified, not negative; 'Beaverhead' is a county name in Montana (its county-seat litigation dominates the index), so any future sweep carries elevated name-collision risk requiring ship-qualifying terms. Does not establish presence or absence; does not establish or defeat any exposure claim or legal eligibility.
