- Carmi (PC 466) timeline and specifications block
- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- NavSource identifies this hull as PC-466, a PC-461-class submarine chaser built by George Lawley and Sons at Neponset, Massachusetts: laid down 1 September 1941, launched 29 April 1942, and commissioned 3 June 1942. The page records reclassification as control submarine chaser PCC-466 on 20 August 1945, reclassification back to PC-466 on 27 October 1955, naming as Carmi on 1 February 1956, and reported sale for scrap in 1960. Its specifications list two 1,440-bhp Fairbanks Morse 38D8 1/8 diesel engines, Westinghouse single-reduction gear, two shafts, and complement 65.

- George Lawley construction trades (1941-42); U.S. Navy crew (1942-46); postwar disposition population unknown
- Limitations
- NavSource is an archival compilation, not a Navy registry. It documents identity, dates, and specifications but does not document asbestos, material content, individual exposure, abatement, or litigation. The page has internally inconsistent decommissioning information, which is carried in gaps rather than reconciled here.

[3]National Archives, Ship Plan Index, Carmi PC-466 entries (Record Group 19 references 153715667 and 175668595; live page verified 2026-10-03) [other_primary]

- Finding type

- Finding
- NARA's Ship Plan Index lists Carmi, PC-466 in Record Group 19 under Hull Series of Ship Engineering Drawings (National Archives Identifier 153715667) and Microfilm (National Archives Identifier 175668595). These are hull-specific engineering-record leads.

- Limitations
- The index establishes the existence and identifiers of holdings, not their contents. Drawings and microfilm were not retrieved or reviewed, so this does not establish that any asbestos-containing material was specified or installed aboard the hull.

- Limitations
- The list is a finding aid, not the logs themselves. It does not state the vessel's materials, asbestos condition, exposure, or litigation status; the logbooks remain a ship-specific operational-record lead.

[5]Naval History and Heritage Command, Allied Ships Present in Tokyo Bay (live source was indexed but returned HTTP 404 on direct verification 2026-10-03) [nhhc_danfs]
- Locator
- NHHC title 'Allied Ships Present in Tokyo Bay'; indexed PC-466 entry; direct URL 404 on 2026-10-03
- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- NHHC's indexed list of Allied ships present in Tokyo Bay includes PC-466 among submarine chasers and notes that numbered ships on the list were given names in 1956. The live page was unavailable when checked, so the Tokyo Bay statement is not used as a verified factual field in this record.

- This is an access-status record, not a verified history finding: direct live verification returned HTTP 404. It does not document asbestos or material content; the historical assertion needs a live or archival replacement before use as settled ship history.

[6]U.S. General Accounting Office, Navy Efforts To Protect Workers From Asbestos Exposure, HRD-80-2 (18 October 1979; product page direct access returned HTTP 403 on 2026-10-03) [gao]

- HRD-80-2, shipboard asbestos applications discussion (p. 1 and related program discussion)
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- GAO HRD-80-2 describes Navy shipboard asbestos applications at program level: thermal insulation for machinery, equipment, and piping was the major application, with additional uses in electrical equipment, deck tile, piping-system gaskets and packing, and equipment brakes. Carmi's 1941-42 construction and 1942-46 Navy service fall within that historical Navy shipbuilding era.

- Population
- Navy shipbuilding, repair, and operating populations at program level
- Limitations
- Class/era and Navy-program context only. The GAO report does not name Carmi or PC-466 and does not establish that any listed product was installed aboard this hull, or establish quantity, condition, individual exposure, causation, or present-day status. Direct GAO access was blocked, so this source remains subject to live retrieval confirmation.

[7]Batch-7841 authoritative-source sweep and authenticated CourtListener helper status; see search_ledger [other_primary]
- Locator
- search_ledger rows sl-uss-carmi-pc466-01 through -07
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement contract, hazmat disclosure, material specification, or other primary material record for USS Carmi / PC-466 was located in the sources searched. CourtListener exact-name opinion search entered the authenticated helper but produced no usable JSON before the execution window ended; the exact-name docket search subsequently received the helper's fleet-pacing stand-down. The two hull-number searches were not sent after that stand-down. Litigation status is therefore an access gap, not a negative result, and no litigation hit is classified or carried.

- Limitations
- A negative public-source search does not prove asbestos was absent or that litigation does not exist. No asbestos-qualified variants were run because no completed base query established the required 20-result overflow; no anonymous or raw CourtListener request was made.
