    Finding
    The Coast Guard history page identifies Eugene as a Tacoma-class patrol frigate built by Consolidated Steel Corp. at Wilmington, California; launched 6 July 1943; commissioned 15 January 1944; commanded and manned by Coast Guard personnel; and powered by two-shaft vertical triple-expansion machinery with three boilers. It reports a 190-person complement, Pacific antisubmarine patrol and convoy-escort service, conversion to weather-ship duty on 25 May 1945, decommissioning at Charleston on 12 June 1946, striking on 19 July 1946, and two World War II battle stars.

    Limitations
    This official history documents identity, machinery, and service, not asbestos-containing materials, a survey, abatement, individual exposure, product identity, quantity, or legal eligibility. Direct Studio-side retrieval returned HTTP 403; Firecrawl was quota-blocked, so this record relies on the live-indexed official page text and discloses the access limitation.

    Study period

    Limitations
    A photograph catalogue establishes vessel identity and approximate image date only; it contains no asbestos, materials, exposure, product, condition, or litigation information. Direct Studio-side retrieval returned HTTP 404, so the source's currently indexed official catalogue text is used with that access gap disclosed.

    Limitations
    The collection list establishes an indexed 1945 cruise book, not its contents or any asbestos condition. Direct Studio-side retrieval returned HTTP 404; neither the item digitization status nor a full-text review was established.

    Finding type
    historical_record
    Finding
    No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazmat disclosure, product-identification record, or qualifying asbestos-litigation record was established from the successful official-source review. The four required authenticated CourtListener base searches were sent, but returned no result payload before the helper's 30-second request timeout; CourtListener is therefore an unresolved access gap, not a negative result.

    Limitations
    This is a bounded search finding, not proof that asbestos was absent or that no litigation exists. Firecrawl was unavailable because its keyless quota was exhausted; direct official-page retrieval was blocked or returned 404; CourtListener results were unavailable. The finding does not establish exposure, causation, product identity, quantity, present condition, or legal eligibility.
