   Finding type

   litigation_documented

   Finding

   Pleading-stage asbestos personal-injury record explicitly naming this hull: the filing recites that 'Plaintiffs allege that Mr. Terry Lee Siegfried was injured as a result of his exposure to asbestos from Owens-Illinois while an electrician and marine electrician between approximately 1969 and 1996 on the Long Beach Naval Shipyard; USS Roark (FF-1053); USS Gray (FF-1054); USS Hepburn (FF-1055); USS Meyerkord (FF-1058); USS Lockwood (FF-1064); USS Markin Shields (FF-1066); USS Francis Hammonds (FF-1067); USS Downes (FF-1070); UFF Cook (FF-1083)...' and additional destroyers/cruisers/amphibious ships (verified verbatim from the ECF 50 PDF, p.1-2). 'Francis Hammonds' is an apparent pluralization - no other commissioned Navy vessel bears the name, and the hull number FF-1067 is this ship. The underlying complaint (ECF No. 125-1) alleges malignant mesothelioma from asbestos exposure during the plaintiff's tenure as an electrician at Long Beach Naval Shipyard ~1969-1996. The same filing recites that Owens-Illinois manufactured asbestos-containing Kaylo thermal insulation for Navy use 1948-1958. The complaint was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court 2018-01-26, removed to federal court under the government-contractor defense 2018-02-26, and the docket records the action terminated 2018-06-04.

   Limitations

   Pleading allegation, not a finding: the exposure-site list is recited (by the defendant's removal joinder), not adjudicated; the case terminated ~3 months after removal with no merits ruling on the vessel list. Does not establish that Kaylo or any asbestos product was aboard this hull, individual exposure, causation, or quantity; FF-1067's inclusion in a multi-vessel list is itself unadjudicated. The same complaint already appears in this database under USS Missouri (BB-63) and USS Gray (FF-1054) - one multi-vessel pleading, not independent corroboration per hull. The joinder ties the vessel list to the Owens-Illinois exposure allegation; the underlying complaint's own recital centers the shipyard tenure.

   DANFS documents that after nearly four months in dry dock at Long Beach (12 December 1989-2 April 1990), the ship spent another period 'moored in Long Beach undergoing numerous evaluations ranging from a communication readiness assessment team inspection (20 April) to an industrial hygiene survey (23-24 April)'.

   Finding

   Era/class inference: a Knox-class (SCB-199C) ocean escort built 1967-70 at Todd San Pedro with a high-pressure steam plant - '2 Combustion Engineering 1200psi boilers; 1 Westinghouse geared turbine; 35,000 shp; 1 shaft' (NavSource spec block) - would have carried period-standard asbestos applications: boiler and turbine insulation, steam-line lagging, gaskets, valve and pump packing, fireproofing, deck coverings, and accommodation insulation. The builder yard maps to the Atlas dataset's 'todd-shipyards' corporate record (evidence tier 2): litigation-documented asbestos findings including a subcontractor worker exposed at Todd Shipyards sites in the 1960s-early 1970s (this hull's construction window) who developed pleural thickening and asbestosis, and documented tearing-out/installation of asbestos insulation - yard-level documentation, not hull- or division-specific. Long Beach Naval Shipyard (commissioning, overhauls, decommissioning) is a dataset tier-1 yard with documented asbestos findings incl. a 1979 chest-x-ray survey of 6,640 employees finding 16.0% with asbestos-related radiographic abnormalities.

Boiler/turbine manufacturer attribution (Combustion Engineering, Westinghouse) rests on NavSource's spec block; the Navy fact file names only '2 - 1200 psi boilers; 1 geared turbine' - manufacturer attribution unverified. The dataset's todd-shipyards record aggregates the corporation; its litigation findings are yard-level and not specific to the San Pedro division or this hull's construction.

   Finding type

   regulatory

   Finding

   GAO documents the Navy's shipboard asbestos posture covering this hull's entire in-service era (1970-1992): per the Navy, ships contained asbestos chiefly as thermal insulation; the Navy's 1975 policy was to remove and replace asbestos insulation only when damaged or when removal was required for repairs, modified in 1979 to add selective replacement in high-maintenance areas; the Navy declined a one-time removal program (estimated $2 billion). 'Other Navy ships contain large quantities of asbestos ... shipyard employees will continue to work with or near asbestos for many years as ships are repaired and overhauled.' Frames the regulatory environment of this hull's LBNSY and Yokosuka availabilities (post-shakedown 1970-71, overhaul 1974-75, baseline overhaul 1978-79, overhaul 1984-85, dry dock 1989-90) and its crew-era exposure regime.

   Disposal record for this hull: decommissioned at Long Beach 2 July 1992 and moved to the Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility, Bremerton (NavSource building/operational data); stricken 11 January 1995 (NVR). Secondary documentation records a February 2002 contract of $1.4 million awarded to International Shipbreaking Limited, Brownsville, Texas, 'for towing / scrapping', with scrapping completed January 2003 (NavSource); the archived crew-association site hosts photographs dated September 2002 captioned 'The USS Francis Hammond being dismantled for scrap, Brownsville, Texas Shipyard' (contributor John C. Driscoll); the NVR records disposal by dismantling (scrapping/recycling) effective 31 March 2003. Program context: ISL was one of four contractors awarded Navy Ship Disposal Project pilot contracts 29 September 1999, a regime under which the contractor is responsible for dismantling, hazardous-waste disposal, and scrap sale (DOT IG MA-2000-067; Fifth Circuit Intl Shipbreaking v.

The ship is scrapped (2003) with no preservation layer to produce future museum-era disclosures. Two documented events bound the record without establishing asbestos content: the April 1990 industrial hygiene survey (scope unknown - ev-05) and the regulated hazmat-removal regime under which the 2002-03 dismantling proceeded (ev-08).

    Limitations

    Absence of a located public record does not prove absence of asbestos aboard - a 1967-70 steam escort fits squarely in the documented era of shipboard asbestos insulation, and the disposal-regime dismantling almost certainly entailed regulated asbestos removal whose documentation is not public. Does not establish that asbestos is or is not present; does not establish or defeat any claim of exposure or legal eligibility. Litigation sweep is provisional: 'FF-1067' opinion and docket-level sweeps deferred by fleet pacing budget (see search_ledger).
