- Locator
- DANFS class/specification entry; comparison with NHHC Ship Shapes reference
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- The reviewed authoritative record establishes a WWII-era Gearing-class destroyer with steam-era naval-destroyer characteristics, but no reviewed primary source identifies asbestos products or asbestos-containing material aboard Everett F. Larson. The class/era record therefore supports research context only; it is not a ship-specific asbestos finding.
