    historical_record
    Finding
    NAVSEA's 2015 historical evaluation identifies Halyburton as an Oliver Hazard Perry (FFG-7)-class guided-missile frigate, decommissioned and an FMS candidate, and records two GE LM2500 gas turbines, 41,000 shp, one shaft, and a controllable-pitch propeller. It found the vessel ineligible for National Register listing.

    litigation_documented
    Finding
    Authenticated CourtListener v4 exact-name opinion search returned three opinions: United States v. Carchio, No. 201400117 (N-M. Ct. Crim. App., 2014); United States v. Geovanni Quintero Rendon, 354 F.3d 1320 (11th Cir. 2003); and Castro-Cruz v. Municipality of San Juan, 643 F. Supp. 2d 194 (D.P.R. 2009). Review of returned metadata/snippets found no qualifying asbestos litigation and no result identifying USS Halyburton (FFG-40) as an asbestos-exposure vessel. These are classified as other litigation/name collisions, not asbestos evidence.

    Limitations
    This is a negative result limited to the completed exact-name opinion query. It does not establish that no litigation exists. Required exact-name docket and hull-number opinion/docket queries could not complete because the fleet pacing helper did not acquire a request token within its 60-second stand-down window; no unauthenticated or non-helper request was made.
