[4]CourtListener API v4 search attempts through the authenticated fleet helper; requests blocked by fleet-wide pacing before a result set was returned [court_record]

- Search ledger entries sl-uss-carpenter-dd825-03 and -04; helper output on 2026-09-27
- Finding type
- litigation_documented
- Finding
- No qualifying ship-specific asbestos litigation record has been verified for USS Carpenter (DD-825) in this research pass. CourtListener searches by exact ship name and hull number were attempted through the authenticated fleet helper, but the helper reported that the fleet-wide request budget was momentarily spent and directed researchers to resume later. This is a blocked/incomplete search, not a no-results finding.

- Limitations
- The CourtListener sweep is incomplete because authenticated requests were rate-limited by the fleet helper. Do not interpret this row as evidence that no such litigation exists. Exact name and hull-number queries must be completed when the helper permits requests.
