[5]USS Fury (PG-69) research ledger for batch 8553; reviewed NHHC image catalog, official DANFS Bayntun entry, GAO HRD-80-2, and attempted CourtListener queries [other_primary]
- Locator
- Search ledger rows sl-uss-fury-pg69-01 through sl-uss-fury-pg69-07
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos survey, material inventory, abatement record, or qualifying asbestos litigation record was located in the sources reviewed to date. This is a limited search result, not evidence that asbestos was absent.

- Limitations
- CourtListener search is incomplete because its authenticated helper repeatedly returned the shared fleet-wide pacing stand-down before all four required searches could complete. Firecrawl search was unavailable due to keyless quota exhaustion. This finding must not be treated as a completed litigation sweep or as proof of absence of asbestos.
