[2]National Archives, Special List #44, by Ship Numbers, PC-1081 entry [other_primary]
- Locator
- PDF page 65 (printed list page 64), row PC-1081; entry dates 4/16/1943–6/30/1945
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- The National Archives' Special List #44, by Ship Numbers, has a logbook entry for PC-1081 covering 16 April 1943 through 30 June 1945. This establishes that the ship-number series had logbook records for that interval; the list does not itself identify a commissioning date or describe the ship's service events.

- Limitations
- This is a NARA finding aid for logbooks, not the logbooks themselves. Its date range is record coverage, not proof of commissioning, continuous service, or any particular voyage. It says nothing about asbestos, materials aboard, individual exposure, or legal eligibility.

[3]Authenticated CourtListener helper response, 2026-10-03; daily quota exhausted, stand down 16,632 seconds [other_primary]
- Locator
- Helper output for `cl-auth-search.py --query 'USS Cadiz' --type opinion --limit 20`; no result set returned
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- The CourtListener sweep is incomplete. The authenticated helper was invoked for the exact-name query 'USS Cadiz' and reported daily quota exhaustion with a 4.6-hour wait before returning search results. The hull-number query 'PC-1081' was not attempted after that instruction. No conclusion about litigation presence or absence can be drawn.

- Limitations
- This is a blocked/incomplete search, not a negative finding. Exact hull-number search, docket search, and any review of returned cases remain outstanding. The request was made through the authenticated fleet helper; no anonymous or direct API request was made.

[4]Negative-finding result based on the source searches documented in search_ledger; no affirmative asbestos source located [other_primary]
- Locator
- Search ledger entries cadiz-danfs, cadiz-nara, cadiz-navsea, cadiz-nvr, cadiz-firecrawl, cadiz-cl-name, and cadiz-cl-hull
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos survey, inventory, or abatement record establishing asbestos aboard USS Cadiz was located in the accessible source searches. The CourtListener sweep was incomplete, so no conclusion about asbestos litigation can be drawn. Asbestos presence aboard this hull is unknown; no product or material is asserted.

- Limitations
- This records the bounded search outcome, not proof that asbestos was absent. Firecrawl was unavailable due quota exhaustion; the CourtListener sweep stopped at its quota response, so absence of asbestos litigation cannot be concluded; the DANFS page was not found; Navsea retrieval was blocked. Class, construction-era, and propulsion assumptions were not used to infer asbestos aboard this hull.
