- Danish Navy crew and shipyard personnel; later civilian owners
- Limitations
- NavSource is a naval-history photo archive rather than a Navy-maintained register, and its page states that no DANFS history is available for PGM-48. It documents identity and disposition as reported there, not asbestos content, crew exposure, or final post-1992 fate.

- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- The Danish naval-vessel reference identifies HAVMANDEN as Orlogsværftet yard number 202, U.S. Navy number PGM-48, laid down 15 November 1960, entering Danish service 30 August 1962, and leaving service on 25 March 1976 in its date columns; it also reports sale to American interests in 1979 and later civilian registration/disposition history.

- Limitations
- The PDF's compact Danish date columns are not independently translated here and conflict in part with the 1978 decommissioning date on the hull-specific NavSource page. The source is used to corroborate identity, yard number, PGM-48 designation, and the 1979 sale, not to resolve the conflicting final-service date or establish asbestos exposure.
