- Finding
- NHHC DANFS identifies Drury (BDE-46) as launched on 24 July 1942 by Philadelphia Navy Yard as HMS Drury; it states that she served in the Royal Navy throughout World War II, transferred to the U.S. Navy at Chatham, England, and was commissioned on 20 August 1945. She arrived at Philadelphia on 8 September 1945, was decommissioned there on 22 October 1945, and was scrapped in June 1946. DANFS lists Evarts class and a design complement of 156.

- Population
- Royal Navy service during World War II; U.S. Navy crew in August-October 1945
- Limitations
- DANFS supports the summarized identity, builder, U.S. service dates, disposal, class, and design complement. Its entry labels the ship BDE-46 and does not provide hull-level asbestos information. Its brief Royal Navy chronology does not state the Royal Navy commissioning date or pennant number.

- Locator
- Full NHHC DANFS entry reviewed
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding

- Limitations
- This is a negative finding about the contents of the cited historical entry only. DANFS is not an asbestos inventory, and its silence does not establish that asbestos-containing material was absent aboard the ship.

[4]Batch identity correction supplied in the production instruction (2026-09-28); compared with NHHC DANFS entry ‘Drury’ (BDE-46) [other_primary]
- Locator
- Production instruction identity correction; NHHC DANFS title and opening paragraph
- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- The batch identity instruction resolves the database display identity as USS Drury (DE-46), formerly HMS Drury (K-316), and states that the queue placeholder ‘USS DE-46’ was not a ship name. NHHC DANFS calls the returned ship Drury (BDE-46), retains the Royal Navy name, and reports U.S. Navy commissioning on 20 August 1945. The structured record uses USS Drury as the display name and preserves the source's BDE-46 form as an alias.

- Study period
- 1942-1945
- Limitations
- The correction instruction supplies the K-316 and DE-46 identity details but is not an independently cited historical source. The accessible NHHC DANFS entry uses BDE-46, so the exact designation transition should be checked against a Navy register or transfer record before treating the designation history as independently verified.

- Limitations
- This is a zero-result search for the exact name in docket search only, not proof that no litigation exists. The exact-name opinion query did not produce a recoverable result during this session, and the hull-number queries were blocked by the fleet pacing limiter. The CourtListener sweep is incomplete; no negative conclusion about all litigation is drawn.
