    This guide is a research roadmap and does not name DD-989 or establish asbestos aboard it. Its principal coverage is through 1961, before this 1977-1980 vessel’s construction; the cited series are archival leads only and were not retrieved.

    Finding type
    litigation_documented
    Finding
    Authenticated CourtListener sweep found no exact-name published-opinion hits for ‘USS Deyo’ and no exact-hull published-opinion hits for ‘DD-989’. The exact-name docket search returned one unrelated Circuit City bankruptcy docket in which the string appears in indexed documents; the exact-hull docket search returned four unrelated dockets (including Veterans Affairs, an interpleader matter, Seroquel products liability, and a copyright case). These are other litigation or name/document collisions, not qualifying asbestos litigation naming USS Deyo (DD-989). No qualifying asbestos litigation was located.

    No ship-specific asbestos survey, materials inventory, abatement record, or official hazard disclosure for USS Deyo (DD-989) was located in the authoritative sources searched. The only reviewed hull-specific repair item touching a potentially relevant component is the 2003 condensate-cooler regasketing entry, which does not identify asbestos.
