    Official DANFS record for this hull (re-fetched verbatim this batch): '(AM-159; dp. 530; l. 184'6"; b. 33'; dr. 9'9"; s. 15 k.; cpl. 104; a 1 3"; cl. Admirable)'. Launched 15 December 1942 by Willamette Iron and Steel Corp., Portland, Oreg.; commissioned 28 February 1944, Lieutenant F. M. Linderman in command; reported to the Pacific Fleet. Arrived Kwajalein 2 June 1944 for convoy escort duty between Pearl Harbor, Kwajalein, Majuro, and Eniwetok - 'guarding the enormous volume of men and cargo moved in rear areas to provide support for the frontline campaigns.' Based at Eniwetok from 15 September 1944; operations to Guadalcanal, Manus, Ulithi, Guam, Iwo Jima, and Saipan before 5 August 1945, when she cleared for Seattle, Wash. After overhaul, sailed to Pearl Harbor in November 1945, then cleared for the east coast; placed out of commission in reserve at New Orleans 3 July 1946; reclassified MSF-159 on 7 February 1955. The entire record runs under AM-159 - consistent with the AMc-136 designation having been reclassified before laying down (see ev-03).

The AM136-165 class characteristics blocks print: 2 propellers, Diesel drive with single reduction gears; length 184'6" o.a., 180'0" w.l.; extreme beam 33'0"; full-load displacement 945 tons (at limiting draft); trial speed 14.8 knots; total accommodations 11 officers + 93 enlisted; armament 1 x 3"/50 cal. D.P. and 2 twin 40mm A.A. mounts. Critically for this record's consolidation, the register's own designation-conversion table prints 'AMc113-142 Now AM 136-165' - official BuShips documentation that the AMc-113 through AMc-142 coastal-minesweeper designations became AM-136 through AM-165 (AMc-136 -> AM-159 within that block).

    Contemporaneous official register - establishes identity, builder, construction dates, propulsion, and the AMc->AM conversion for this hull; contains no materials or asbestos information. The class block prints 'Diesel' (geared) drive for AM136-165, not 'diesel-electric' - secondary summaries (e.g., the HyperWar data card, 'diesel-electric engines, twin screws, 1,800 h.p.') conflict with this table; the official table is carried and the conflict logged in ev-09/gaps. The 1,710 figure is the class-table shaft-horsepower entry and is not labeled per-engine or aggregate. OCR noise in the scanned table (e.g., 'CANDD' for Candid, merged digits in the tonnage column) does not affect the row's substance.

    vessel_history
    Finding
    AMc-136 and AM-159 are the SAME HULL, not two vessels - this record consolidates both designations under one vessel_id so no second vessel record is created. NavSource documents that AMc-136 was the 'originally planned' coastal-minesweeper designation, reclassified to AM-159 on 21 February 1942 - which PREDATES the 23 May 1942 laying down. The official NAVSHIPS 250-011 conversion table independently corroborates the block reclassification: 'AMc113-142 Now AM 136-165' (AMc-136 maps to AM-159 within that block). The hull was therefore never built, launched, commissioned, or operated under AMc-136; it was a paper designation only. Every U.S. Navy record of this hull runs under AM-159: the DANFS entry opens '(AM-159...)' and carries the commission as AM-159. The 'AMC-136' rendering in the batch queue is a capitalization variant of AMc-136. CAUTION on the designation series: AMc-136 is the coastal-minesweeper series, distinct from the AM minesweeper series - AMc-136 is NOT AM-136 (USS Admirable, a different hull that was itself ex-AMc-113). The batch-1183 PRIMARY Tier-2 record uss-change-am159.atlas.json is this same hull's canonical record.

    Finding
    Published adjudication records an LHWCA death-benefits claim by the widow of James McAllister, a shipyard carpenter who died 22 September 2002 of left pleural mesothelioma. The official BRB decision states verbatim: 'Decedent worked as a carpenter for three shipyards between 1956 and 1960. His work for WISCO ceased in 1956, and his work for Albina Engine ceased in 1957' - WISCO being 'Guy F. Atkinson's Willamette Iron and Steel Company,' i.e., the builder of this hull (the Atlas yard dataset lists 'WISCO' as an alias of Willamette Iron & Steel Corp., Portland, OR). The ALJ found 'clear, credible, and unrebutted evidence' that decedent was exposed to asbestos while employed at WISCO (McAllister I, 39 BRBS 35 (2005)); the Ninth Circuit's opinion notes WISCO admitted the exposure. The merits resolved only which employer was last-responsible under the LHWCA framework - the Ninth Circuit held Lockheed liable.

    Yard-level context, not a hull finding: McAllister's WISCO employment was in 1956 - more than a decade after this hull's 1942-44 construction - so the documented exposure window does not overlap the build period. The decisions name the employer, not AM-159/AMc-136, and adjudicate an LHWCA liability-allocation question only; exposure at WISCO was found unrebutted at the ALJ level (McAllister I) and admitted per the Ninth Circuit - not tried on vessel conditions. Does not establish conditions aboard any vessel or during the wartime window. CourtListener API was unavailable this session (shared daily quota exhausted, HTTP 429); the 9th Cir. reporter cite is carried from the batch-1183 verification (vLex), and the BRB decision itself was re-fetched verbatim this batch from dol.gov.

    Finding
    Era/design inference: this hull is a 1942-built steel Admirable-class minesweeper with a geared diesel twin-screw plant (two ALCO 539 diesels, Farrel-Birmingham single reduction gear) - no boilers, no steam distribution. Its insulation load was materially lighter than a steam combatant's, but machinery and construction materials of the 1942-44 wartime era were commonly asbestos-containing: engine and exhaust-system lagging, machinery gaskets and valve packing, electrical-cable insulation, accommodation/galley joiner insulation, winch and windlass brake linings, and deck compositions of the period. Exposure-relevant populations if any material was present: Willamette Iron & Steel Portland-yard construction trades (1942-44); the wartime U.S. crew (design complement ~104) across Pacific convoy-escort and minesweeping-support operations (Kwajalein, Eniwetok, Guadalcanal, Manus, Ulithi, Guam, Iwo Jima, Saipan); the August-November 1945 Seattle overhaul workforce (yard unnamed in DANFS); and reserve-fleet caretakers at New Orleans 1946-1960 - the 1945 overhaul being the heaviest documented machinery-space disturbance episode in the hull's career.

    Inference from documented design, machinery type, and construction era - NOT a hull materials record. No survey, specification, or material schedule naming AM-159/AMc-136 was located; establishes no asbestos content, quantity, location, condition, individual exposure, or causation. The diesel (non-steam) plant makes even era-level inference weaker than for steam vessels of the same era - marketing copy describing minesweeper 'boiler rooms' (mesothelioma.com) is inapplicable to this diesel class.

    No case located names this hull (see negative_finding row and search_ledger). Doctrinal context only for the vessel's type: claims arising from WWII-era Navy-vessel asbestos exposure ran under maritime law against equipment manufacturers, and the Supreme Court's DeVries decision settled the 'bare-metal defense' framework - manufacturers that supplied bare equipment had a duty to warn where their products required asbestos-containing parts. It illustrates the litigation posture claims arising from service aboard a WWII diesel minesweeper would have faced; no such claim naming Change was located.

    Archival leads (not retrieved - require research-room or reproduction order; no spend authorized; NARA catalog returns only its JS application shell to automated fetch, re-confirmed this batch): (a) NARA RG 24 deck logs for AM-159, Feb 1944 - Jul 1946, and the WWII muster-rolls series - coverage expected but unconfirmed; (b) NARA RG 19 Bureau of Ships records / General Information Books and the Navy contract file for the Willamette Iron & Steel Admirable-class block - the plausible home of hull-level material schedules; (c) the BuShips reclassification directive for 'AMc113-142 Now AM 136-165' (21 Feb 1942) - the underlying document for the same-hull consolidation in ev-03; (d) the Seattle overhaul record - DANFS places the overhaul at Seattle Aug-Nov 1945 but does not name the yard (no related_shipyards attribution made); (e) the disposal/sale record for the 1960 scrapping - NavSource-only detail, no sale/scrapping contract located; (f) NARA photographs - NavSource credits no photo for this hull (unlike sisters with 80-G/19-LCM images).

    Limitations
    Record-group mapping only - no box-level retrieval performed; existence of asbestos-specific documents for AM-159/AMc-136 is unknown until surveyed in person. Muster rolls, deck logs, and overhaul files are personnel/operations records, not materials documentation. Nothing in this row is an asbestos finding.
