   Finding

   Official BuShips Ships' Data 1945 Vol. 3 carries per-hull rows for ECHOLS (ex-APL-37) APB-37: 328'0" overall / 316'0" waterline; beam 50'0"; trial speed 10 knots; limiting displacement 4,080 tons, limiting draft 11'2", 32 tons per inch immersion; ship's company 12 officers + 129 enlisted; troop accommodation 26 officers + 1,200 enlisted; largest boom 32 tons; two propellers, G.M. Diesel 12-567A engines, 1,600 shp; double Falk main reduction gears; five diesel-drive 100 kW 120/240 V D.C. ship's-service generators; fuel oil 2,975 bbls. In the construction table the APB-37 row names builder 'Navy Yard, Boston, Mass.' but leaves keel-laid, launch, and first-commission cells blank - the hull was still building at data cutoff, unlike sisters Marlboro and Mercer (keel 25 Aug 44, launched 17 Nov 44) whose dates print, consistent with the later keel date (9 Jun 45) given by NPS and Shipscribe.

The accompanying official-caption reproduction (photo BOSTS-11020) shows 'Echols (APB-37)... at Pier 6 West on January 8, 1947, one week after her official completion. She would remain in reserve status for the next fourteen years before being activated to berth crews at the Navy's submarine base at New London, Ct.' The table's hull-number cell prints 'APB-38' - a typographical error in the publication (the publication's own caption and cross-reference read 'Echols (APB-37)' and 'No Name (APL-37), see Echols'; Marlboro is APB-38).

Footnote 'first placed in service 1961' and the caption's fourteen-years framing imply Groton activation ~1961, conflicting with Shipscribe's Norfolk-reserve-until-1976 sequence - conflict logged, not resolved.

   Finding

   Era/design inference for a purpose-built 1945-46 diesel-powered barracks ship on the modified LST hull form: BuShips Ships' Data 1945 documents this hull's plant as two GM 12-567A diesels (1,600 shp), twin screw - a diesel plant with no boilers, narrowing the steam-lagging pathway relative to steam auxiliaries. Asbestos-relevant applications consistent with era naval-ship construction: diesel exhaust lagging and gaskets, engine-room thermal/acoustic insulation, deck coverings/tile, bulkhead and accommodation insulation and joiner materials, valve/flange gaskets and packing, winch/crane brake linings. The barracks-ship function (berthing accommodation for ~1,200 embarked personnel, plus submarine crews berthed aboard at Groton for up to three decades) enlarged the insulated interior-finish footprint relative to the base LST design, and USNI documents the hull as 'still in her original configuration' through 1995 - i.e., unlike her four Vietnam-modified sisters, no documented large-scale rework replaced or disturbed original-era interior materials.

    Negative search result, not a finding about conditions aboard: absence of docketed litigation naming the ship does not establish absence of exposure. Navy-ship asbestos claims also proceed against manufacturers rather than hulls, so hull-name search under-detects; in-service (never-commissioned) berthing craft are additionally under-represented because occupants were typically assigned to submarines for service records and litigate under hull names of those boats. 'Echols' hits were classified by caption review plus sampled full-text verification via open web mirrors (v4 search returns no match snippets); classification is collision-level, not a per-hit merits review of all 35 dockets.
