- Limitations
- Direct access to the GAO product page returned HTTP 403 in this research environment, so the full report was not reviewed in this pass. This is Navy-wide context only: it does not name Havre/PCE-877, identify a material aboard her, establish exposure, or support a ship-specific asbestos finding.

[7]Authoritative-source sweep recorded in this vessel's search_ledger: NARA Special List 44; NHHC ship-history, archive, and photographic indexes; NVR detail-page check; GAO product-page check; authenticated CourtListener helper attempts [other_primary]
- Locator
- search_ledger entries sl-uss-havre-pcec877-01 through sl-uss-havre-pcec877-07
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos record was located in the authoritative sources reviewed: no asbestos survey, abatement record, material inventory, or hazmat disclosure naming PCE-877/PCE(C)-877/Havre. CourtListener results are not included in this negative finding because the required sweep could not be completed when the authenticated fleet pacing helper denied tokens.

- Limitations
- A negative search result is not proof that asbestos was absent. The CourtListener litigation sweep is incomplete and cannot support a litigation-negative conclusion. No claim about asbestos installation, quantity, exposure, causation, or legal eligibility is made.
