  3. [3]Authenticated CourtListener search helper and fleet-wide pacing limiter; see search_ledger [other_primary]

    Finding type
    historical_record
    Finding
    No CourtListener result classification was possible: the authenticated helper's shared pacing limiter reported the fleet request budget momentarily spent. The four required base searches (name opinion, name docket, hull opinion, hull docket) therefore remain uncompleted; this is an access gap, not a no-result finding.

    Limitations
    No inference about the existence or absence of litigation is warranted because the required searches did not return case results. No asbestos-qualified variants were run.

    Search ledger sl-uss-calistoga-yfb21-06; limited sources and official-source query noted there
    Finding type
    asbestos_application
    Finding
    No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, or materials disclosure was located in the limited official Navy/NARA sources reviewed. The 1941 Navy Filing Manual classifies Calistoga as a ferryboat but contains no asbestos finding; no asbestos presence or absence is established.

    Limitations
    This is a bounded public-source search result, not proof that asbestos was absent. No hull survey, abatement file, or material inventory was examined; no asbestos presence, quantity, condition, exposure, or causation is established.
