- Finding
- Documented for this hull: laid down 12 January 1963 at Electric Boat Division, General Dynamics Corp., Groton, Conn.; launched 1 February 1964; commissioned 14 August 1964. Fleet ballistic-missile submarine armed with 16 Polaris missiles; conducted deterrent patrols; later converted for Poseidon (refueling overhaul at Electric Boat 1970-71 per secondary) and Trident I (Newport News overhaul 1980-82 per secondary).

- Finding
- Milestone block: laid down 12 January 1963 (Electric Boat, Groton); launched 1 February 1964; commissioned 14 August 1964; decommissioned/struck date displayed as '3 July 1994' - the official NVR record shows 7 March 1994, so the NavSource figure is a day/month transposition; disposed of through the Nuclear Powered Ship and Submarine Recycling Program 21 October 1994 at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. Specs: S5W reactor, two geared turbines, one propeller; complement 120.

[8]Era inference anchored to DANFS-documented construction and yard periods for this hull [other_primary]
- Locator
- construction-era inference from DANFS dates and documented yard periods
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- Era inference: a nuclear submarine built 1963-64 at Electric Boat in the peak asbestos era would era-typically have carried asbestos-containing insulation, gaskets, and packing around its secondary steam and auxiliary machinery; the documented Electric Boat refueling overhaul (1970-71, per secondary source) is a yard-disturbance window of the kind in which era insulation was installed and removed. Nuclear propulsion itself establishes nothing about asbestos; the inference attaches to the conventional steam-side systems.

- Limitations
- CLASS/ERA INFERENCE ONLY - no ship-specific material schedule, survey, or insulation record was located for this hull. Does not establish asbestos aboard USS Casimir Pulaski, any exposure, or any quantity. Never infer ship-specific findings from this row.

- Finding
- GAO documented that the Navy used asbestos insulation extensively aboard ships and did not begin substituting alternative insulation materials until the early 1970s - covering this hull's construction era (1963-64) and the 1970-71 Electric Boat refueling overhaul.

[10]Negative finding: no qualifying ship-specific asbestos record located - clean litigation sweep [other_primary]
- Locator
- see search_ledger sl-uss-casimir-pulaski-ssbn633-01..07
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No hull ACM survey, abatement contract, scrapping/recycling hazmat disclosure, or merits-level adjudicated exposure finding naming USS Casimir Pulaski (SSBN-633) was located; litigation sweeps (exact name and hull number) produced no qualifying asbestos case and no pleading-stage roster naming this hull. Hull-number searches surfaced only unrelated submarine-force and Federal Supplement references - collisions screened out.

- Limitations
- Absence of a located record is not proof no record exists - the 1994 recycling-disposal path left no retrievable hazmat-disclosure trail in located sources. CourtListener API was rate-limited this session; coverage relied on direct RECAP-document verification plus site-index sweeps.
