- Finding
- DANFS record for this hull: the fourth CONCORD (CL-10) was launched 15 December 1921 by William Cramp and Sons, Philadelphia, Pa.; sponsored by Miss H. Butterick; and commissioned 3 November 1923.

- Limitations
- DANFS documents construction, service history, and disposal - not materials or asbestos content. Mirror transcription cited because the live NHHC page returns 404; transcription is verbatim DANFS text. The DANFS entry omits the keel-laying date (supplied from BuShips Ships' Data 1945, ev-02) and gives no stricken date (secondary register sources give 8 January 1946 - carried in gaps as unverified).

- Finding
- Era inference: Omaha-class scout-cruiser construction (4 shafts; geared steam turbines; 12 boilers; 90,000 shp; ~34 kt per DANFS/Ships' Data tables) at William Cramp & Sons, Philadelphia, 1920-1923 falls in the documented Navy asbestos-insulation era; the 1960 BuShips Technical Manual insulation chapter enumerates the era-standard suite - 85%-magnesia (~15% asbestos) and amosite-fiber pipe covering, asbestos felt, chrysotile cloth/tape lagging, asbestos millboard, finishing cement, and molded asbestos block. Documented disturbance periods for this hull: builder yard period 1920-23 at Cramp; documented shipyard overhaul at San Diego early 1942 (operating yard not identified in DANFS); Balboa/Canal Zone repair periods; Philadelphia inactivation and disposal 1945-47.

- Limitations
- Class/era specification and yard-period inference only - no ship-specific asbestos record exists for this hull (ev-05); this row must not be read as establishing that asbestos products were or remain aboard. Does not quantify material; insulation disturbance at documented yard periods is inference from work scope, not a documented abatement record.

[5]Batch-58 search ledger (this record): NHHC DANFS + Online Library + BuShips Ships' Data; CourtListener ship-name and hull-number queries (API throttled - blocked); web-search litigation mitigation; NVR; museum/disclosure sweep [other_primary]

- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No qualifying ship-specific asbestos record located: CourtListener API queries for 'USS Concord' / 'CL-10' asbestos litigation could not be executed - the shared-IP daily rate cap (125/day) was already exhausted and returned HTTP 429 (see search_ledger sl-uss-concord-cl10-03); web-search mitigation over the same name/hull queries surfaced only law-firm and marketing ship-list pages (excluded as non-authoritative per batch rules) and no qualifying court record naming this hull; and no hull ACM survey, abatement contract, scrapping hazmat disclosure, NVR entry (hull sold 1947, before live-register coverage), or museum record with asbestos data was found in the public sources searched.

- Limitations
- Absence of a located public record does not prove absence of asbestos aboard - it establishes only that no qualifying ship-specific documentation was found in the searched repositories. The CourtListener sweep is INCOMPLETE for this batch (API throttled); the ledger logs the block honestly rather than claiming a completed search. 'Concord' is also a common word/name - any future litigation hit requires hull attribution review. Does not establish or defeat any claim of exposure or legal eligibility.
