    vessel_history
    Finding
    The U.S. Navy's current USS Green Bay (LPD-20) history identifies the prior USS Green Bay (PG-101) as the first Navy ship bearing the name. It states that PG-101 was built at Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin; launched 14 June 1969; commissioned 5 December 1969 at Boston; decommissioned 22 April 1977 at Little Creek, Virginia; and transferred to Greece in 1989 as Tolmi (P-230).

    This is an official namesake-history page, not a construction contract, material specification, or hazmat survey. It does not identify the builder by corporate name, establish the post-transfer fate, or document asbestos or any individual exposure.

    vessel_history
    Finding
    NHHC's history of sister gunboat Surprise (PG-97) records that Green Bay (PG-101) joined Surprise and Beacon at Mayport in January 1970; the three proceeded through Guantanamo Bay and Panama and reached San Diego on 7 February. The same entry describes the class as using diesel engines with a gas turbine for high-speed operation.

    Limitations
    This is a contemporaneous-sister history that names Green Bay in a shared movement, not a dedicated Green Bay history or technical manual. The propulsion description is class-level context and does not establish installed materials or asbestos aboard this hull.

    Ship Plan Index entries 'ASHEVILLE | PF-1' and 'ASHEVILLE | PGM-84'
    Finding type
    historical_record
    Finding
    Identity correction: the National Archives ship-plan index lists Asheville under PF-1 and separately lists later Asheville PGM-84 records. This record is for the distinct 1969 USS Green Bay, PGM-101 reclassified PG-101; shared/reused number strings must not collapse Green Bay into Asheville's WWII PF-1 record.

    Limitations
    The index establishes the distinct Asheville PF-1 archival designation; it is not itself a complete Green Bay construction history and does not establish any material or exposure fact for either vessel.

    historical_record
    Finding
    NHHC's ZC ship-files index identifies a 1969 Green Bay (PG-101) file containing launching, welcome-aboard, and commissioning brochures. Those physical holdings are the strongest identified lead for hull-specific construction and equipment detail.

    Finding type
    litigation_documented
    Finding
    No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, or material inventory naming USS Green Bay (PG-101/PGM-101) was located in the authoritative sources reviewed. The four required CourtListener base queries were attempted through the authenticated helper but returned no search results because the shared fleet pacing limiter timed out before each request could be sent.

    Limitations
    This negative source sweep is not proof that asbestos was absent and does not establish or defeat individual exposure, causation, or legal eligibility. It is not a negative CourtListener result: the litigation sweep is incomplete due to the documented fleet-pacing block.
