Resolves the apparent transfer-before-strike anomaly: NDRF custody 8/29/1962, permanent title transfer 7/1/1963 (same date as the Naval Register strike). The database 'Scrapped' fate field is a coarse disposition bucket - the card documents only the 1976 Navy release, and ultimate disposition is undocumented (NavSource: 'fate unknown'). Status cards contain no asbestos, insulation-materials, or condition-survey information; the dehumidification note records the preservation method only. Supports no asbestos claim.

   historical_record

   Finding

   Source-conflict register (resolved/unresolved): (a) AN-13 redesignation date - DANFS gives 20 January 1944; NavSource prints 1 January 1944 and Wikipedia follows. DANFS adopted as controlling (consistent with the DANFS 20 January 1944 date carried by sister-ship entries, e.g. Cinchona AN-12); the 1-January figure appears to propagate a compilation error. (b) Decommissioning - DANFS ends 'went into reserve at Subic Bay in March 1947'; NavSource prints both '4 March 1947, at Subic Bay' (attributed to DANFS) and '25 July 1947' (muster sheets); the command roster's final officer (ENS Walden, to 25 July 1947) supports the July date. Both carried, unresolved. (c) Complement - DANFS stat line 43 vs NavSource spec block and MARAD card 4 officers + 44 enlisted = 48; the 48 figure (two independent compilations of official data) carried with the conflict logged. (d) Sponsor - 'Miss Sara Ann Telfer' (DANFS, NavSource) vs 'Tefler' (Wikipedia); Telfer adopted. (e) Transfer sequence - NavSource lists 'transferred 29 August 1962 to MARAD NDRF' before 'struck 1 July 1963'; the MARAD cards reconcile this: NDRF custody 8/29/62, permanent title transfer 7/1/63 (same date as the strike). (f) Final disposition - NavSource 'fate unknown' vs MARAD database fate field 'Scrapped'; the status card documents only 'Released to Navy for Salvage Training' 5/5/76 - ultimate fate unresolved, 'Scrapped' treated as an unsupported coarse bucket. (g) Displacement - DANFS/MARAD 560 t light vs NavSource 660 t lt / 905 t fl - consistent light-vs-load figures, no conflict. (h) uboat.net compiled entry prints 'commissioned 5 Sep 1941' and 'ordered 27 Jul 1940' - the commission date conflates in-service status with commissioning (DANFS: in service 5 Sep 1941, commissioned 26 Dec 1942); order date unverified, carried in gaps only. (i) Wikipedia 'Homeport: Tiburon, California' - Tiburon Naval Net Depot is corroborated by DANFS (returned there 12 October 1944) as an operating base; 'homeport' framing not separately verified.

A 1941 diesel-electric Navy auxiliary of this type is era-consistent with asbestos-containing materials in machinery gaskets and packing, exhaust-system lagging, electrical insulation aboard the generating plant, friction linings on the heavy net-handling winch/windlass and 12-ton boom brake machinery, and interior insulation/deck covering materials - applications documented Navy-wide for the WWII construction era (see ev-07, ev-08).

The page quotes USS Safeguard (ARS-50) and USS Salvor (ARS-52) command chronologies: 3-7 March 1986 - Safeguard retrieved beach gear using ex-BUCKEYE as the stranded vessel; 2-3 April 1986 - OPEVAL observers lit fires aboard BUCKEYE for the off-ship firefighting phase; 2-6 March 1987 - ex-BUCKEYE beached at Pearl Harbor and Salvor laid beach gear, patched, pumped, and extracted her; 31 August 1987 - Salvor conducted off-ship firefighting on ex-BUCKEYE at sea. A November 1981 photograph on the main archive page shows the hulk in use at Naval Station Pearl Harbor.
