- Finding
- DANFS record for this hull: the third Dahlgren (DLG-12) was launched 16 March 1960 by Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, sponsored by Mrs. Katharine D. Cromwell, granddaughter of Rear Admiral Dahlgren, and commissioned 8 April 1961, Cmdr. C. E. Landis in command. Design figures per the spec block: displacement 5,368, length 512', beam 52', draft 16'7", speed 30+ kt., complement 377, class Coontz. The namesake paragraph identifies Rear Admiral John Adolphus Dahlgren (1809-1870), ordnance innovator and Civil War commander.

- Finding
- State appellate record naming this hull in an asbestos personal-injury case: the estate of Thomas Phillip Korol (d. 2017, mesothelioma) alleged exposure as a fireman and fireman's apprentice aboard USS Dahlgren for roughly 28 months in 1961-1963. Philadelphia Common Pleas granted summary judgment to Crane Co. and Warren Pumps (the case settled as to other defendants); the Superior Court reversed, holding the record sufficient to create a material issue of fact as to 'the regularity or nature of his contact with defendants' products while he worked aboard the U.S.S. Dahlgren': co-worker testimony placed the decedent in the fireroom for a short time, the firerooms and engine rooms contained valves manufactured by Crane and pumps manufactured by Warren, and sailors in those spaces removed and replaced asbestos gaskets and packing on pumps and valves by scraping, releasing dust in extremely confined spaces.

- Limitations
- Classified at the less-final stage: a sufficiency-on-appeal ruling, not a merits finding - the Superior Court held only that a genuine issue of material fact exists for a jury; exposure aboard this hull and product causation remain unadjudicated, and the post-remand disposition was not located. The memorandum is non-precedential under Superior Court I.O.P. 65.37 (persuasive value only per Pa.R.A.P. 126(b)). The cited products (Crane valves, Warren pumps) rest on co-worker testimony, not an adjudicated product identification. Official opinion text resides in the court's J-A28029-22 posting; a stable deep-link was not resolved at fetch time - cited via the court's opinions portal plus Westlaw cite 2023 WL 1980858.

DAHLGREN (DLG-12) May 1961-May 1962, U.S.S. SARATOGA (CVA-60) May 1965-April 1966, and U.S.S. FDR (CVA-42) April 1966, with ratings of Fireman, Machinist's Mate/Fireman, or Machinist's Mate throughout - 'ratings ... consistent with exposure to asbestos if service was onboard ships containing asbestos.' The Board granted service connection for the cause of the veteran's death (d. November 1998; underlying causes listed as pleural thickening and asbestos).

- Population
- One veteran: Fireman/Machinist's Mate, USS Dahlgren (DLG-12), May 1961-May 1962; death attributed in part to asbestos-related disease
- Limitations
- Read precisely: the Board's asbestos finding rested on U.S.S. FORREST SHERMAN evidence - 14 lay statements and a Navy hazardous-materials survey documenting asbestos 'in numerous locations throughout' that ship - and found the veteran 'was exposed to asbestos during military service' on the cumulative record. No evidence of asbestos aboard Dahlgren was in the record and the Board made no hull-specific finding for DLG-12. The row documents service aboard this hull in an asbestos-consistent rating within a granted claim - it does not establish asbestos aboard this hull.

- Documented disposal chain for this hull: transferred to the James River Reserve Fleet 1 July 1993; sold for scrapping 15 April 1994 to N.R. Acquisition of New York for $283,711.78, which subcontracted dismantling to Wilmington Resources of Wilmington, N.C. (renamed Sigma Recycling January 1996); the Wilmington site lost dismantling permits 24 July 1996 and Dahlgren was among ten ships repossessed by the Navy 30 September 1996 (0% scrapped, berthed at Philadelphia); resold to International Shipbreakers of Brownsville, Texas, 10 February 1999; repossessed a second time 10 July 2000 after the yard failed to take timely delivery; dismantling contract issued to ESCO Marine of Brownsville 29 July 2005 for $2,653,018; NVR records 'disposed of by dismantling (scrapping/recycling)' 28 March 2006.

NVR confirms only the terminal disposition (dismantling, 03/28/2006). The 1994-96 Wilmington custody is ship-relevant because the site is the one documented in ev-06/ev-07 for asbestos violations - but no source attributes specific asbestos quantities or worker exposures to this hull's aborted dismantling.

Workers flushed hydraulic fluids out of pipes, stripped fire-retardant asbestos from walls and sandblasted lead paint from metal scraps.' The operation shut down after more than a dozen environmental and worker-safety violations; 'Sigma Recycling was fined $232,400 after the federal government said it violated asbestos standards' (plus a reduced fine for an explosion that injured two workers); about 10 vessels were returned to Baltimore; a roughly $1 million state cleanup plan was pending approval.

- Era/yard inference: a Farragut-class guided-missile frigate built 1958-61 with four 1,200-psi boilers and two geared steam turbines would have carried period-standard asbestos boiler and machinery insulation, steam-line lagging, gaskets, packing, and fireproofing. Builder Philadelphia Naval Shipyard is documented at tier 3 in the Atlas yard dataset with litigation-identified asbestos products (Eagle-Picher Super 60, Onecote cement, Thermasil pipe covering, Unibestos, Kaylo, Garlock sheet gaskets and packing, Baldwin-Ehret-Hill and Johns-Manville products; Taylor v. Celotex, Junge v. Garlock, Gross v. Johns-Manville, Merwitz). Documented availabilities for this hull - the 1972-73 modernization and 1979-80 and 1984 overhauls, all associated with Philadelphia - are the class-typical settings where ACM was installed, disturbed, and removed. NARA RG19 'General Information Books' per-vessel material specifications are an archival lead for hull-level specs.
