- Population
- Ship personnel, shipyard workers, and potential litigants
- Limitations
- A negative public-record search does not show that asbestos was absent. The official-source sweep was constrained by Firecrawl keyless quota exhaustion; CourtListener searches were constrained by the authenticated fleet pacing limiter, so litigation status remains an open gap rather than a no-result finding.
