- vessel_history
- Finding
- DANFS identifies USS Carr (FFG-52) as an Oliver Hazard Perry-class guided-missile frigate and the first U.S. naval vessel named for Gunner's Mate Third Class Paul Henry Carr; records her Seattle construction by Todd-Pacific Shipbuilding Corporation, keel-laying on 26 March 1982, launch on 26 February 1983, commissioning on 27 July 1985, 219-person complement, and decommissioning on 13 March 2013. It states she remained at the Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility in Philadelphia awaiting possible sale to a foreign navy.

- Carr crew and shipyard personnel, 1982–2013
- Limitations
- DANFS documents identity, service history, specifications, and decommissioning, not asbestos content, ACM locations, abatement, individual exposure, or legal eligibility. Its statement that Carr remained at Philadelphia is a 2019 historical endpoint and does not establish later disposition.

- Finding
- NHHC's command-history index independently lists Carr's commissioning date as 27 July 1985 and decommissioning date as 13 March 2013, and provides ship command-history reports for selected years from 1985 through 2013.

[5]U.S. Navy, USS Ford (FFG-54) 1988 command history, Oliver Hazard Perry-class propulsion description; corroborated by Navy LM2500 budget documentation [other_primary]

- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- Class-level design context: the Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate uses a computer-controlled gas-turbine propulsion plant; Navy budget documentation identifies LM2500 marine gas turbines as main propulsion for FFG 7 Oliver Hazard Perry-class ships.

[6]Authenticated CourtListener search ledger for exact-name and exact-hull queries [court_record]

- CourtListener authenticated helper output; Marine Hydraulics International, Inc. v. United States, 43 Fed. Cl. 664 (1999)
- Finding type
- litigation_documented
- Finding
- The required exact-name and exact-hull CourtListener litigation sweep was attempted in both opinion and docket indexes, but all four legs were blocked by the helper's fleet-wide pacing stand-down before payloads returned. The only identified published litigation lead is Marine Hydraulics International, Inc. v. United States, 43 Fed. Cl. 664 (1999), a Navy repair-contract bid protest concerning USS Carr, not asbestos exposure.

- CourtListener-indexed federal litigation
- Limitations
- The helper initially returned a fleet-wide pacing stand-down on the exact-name opinion request. This row is deliberately conservative; query-by-query completion status is maintained in search_ledger and the batch report. A contract opinion naming the ship is not exposure evidence.
