- vessel_history
- Finding
- The Coast Guard historical entry independently lists Consolidated Steel Corp., Wilmington, California, and commissioning on 29 January 1944 at San Pedro. It describes the plant as two-shaft VTE propulsion with three boilers, gives complement as 190, and records the 1946 Coast Guard loan and 2 August 1946 Navy decommissioning.

- Shipyard trades; officers and crew
- Limitations
- Official Coast Guard historical summary; the propulsion label and summary specifications are not an equipment schedule or asbestos record. Its displacement, dimensions, and range differ from DANFS; those disputed measurements are not carried as settled values. The weather-ship conversion details are described in the entry but do not prove the presence or removal of asbestos.
