- Limitations
- This is a bounded search result, not proof that no such records exist. Firecrawl search was quota-blocked and all four required authenticated CourtListener base searches remain unrun because the fleet pacing helper declined before an HTTP request. No inference is made from class, era, boilers, or steam propulsion.
