- DANFS entry for this hull (verbatim specifications block: "DD-111: dp. 1,060; l. 314'5\"; b. 31'9\", dr. 8'6\", s. 35k.; cpl. 113; a. 4 4\", 2 3\", 12 21\" tt.; cl. Wickes"). "The first Ingraham (DD-111) was launched 4 July 1918 by the Union Iron Works, San Francisco, Calif.; sponsored by Mrs. Alfred S. Gann; and commissioned 15 May 1919, Comdr. D. L. Le Breton in command." Departed 20 May [1919] for shakedown, transited the Panama Canal, arrived Newport 6 June; after repairs in New York sailed for a European tour, carrying the King and Queen of Belgium from Ostend to Calais 22 September; returned to San Diego 8 January 1920 via New York and the Canal Zone "to begin conversion to a minelayer." "Reclassified DM-9, Ingraham began minelaying exercises January 1921 along the California coast before departing Mare Island 7 June. She arrived Pearl Harbor 18 June and engaged in operations there until she decommissioned at Pearl Harbor 29 June 1922. Her name was struck from the Navy List 1 December 1936 and she was sold for scrapping." The DANFS Ingraham series entry identifies the namesake as Captain Duncan Nathaniel Ingraham (born Charleston, S.C., 6 December 1802; appointed midshipman 18 June 1812; Koszta affair, Congressional Gold Medal; resigned 4 February 1861 for the Confederate Navy; died Charleston 16 October 1891).

- Limitations
- DANFS documents service history and specifications, not materials, ACM, or asbestos content. The entry does not state a laid-down date or a reclassification date (see gaps). Disposition conflict: DANFS says "sold for scrapping" while multiple secondary compilations record "sunk as target off Pearl Harbor, 23 July 1937" - both versions documented in gaps, neither silently reconciled. Live NHHC page returns 404; verbatim mirror cited in its place, consistent with the link-rot pattern documented since BATCH-01.

[2]NARA, Special List #44 - "List of Logbooks of US Navy Ships, Stations, and Miscellaneous Units, 1801-1947" (named-vessel index); Record Group 24, Entry 118 (National Archives Identifier 581208), National Archives, Washington, DC [other_primary]

- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- NARA Special List #44 explicitly lists a logbook holding for this hull: "Ingraham (DD-111), 5/15/1919 - 6/29/1922" - a single volume spanning the ship's entire commission from commissioning to decommissioning. The same list carries a cross-reference: "Israel 1/1/1922-7/7/1922 - see Ingraham, 1922," indicating the USS Israel (DD-98) logbook for that period is filed with the Ingraham volume. Per NARA's logbook guidance, pre-1941 Navy logbooks are held at the National Archives in Washington, DC (RG 24, Entry 118, NAID 581208).

- Limitations
- This is a holdings index entry, not a retrieved record - the logbook volume itself was not located online (it does not appear in NARA's 'online through 1940' digitized logbook index) and was not retrieved or reviewed for this record. Establishes that a contemporaneous ship-specific record exists in NARA custody; establishes nothing about materials or asbestos aboard this hull.

[3]DANFS specifications block for this hull ("dp. 1,060"; "cl. Wickes"; "s. 35k.") - class/era inference drawn from this ship-specific specifications data, not from a dedicated materials study [nhhc_danfs]
- Locator
- DANFS specifications block; shipyards.json record 'bethlehem-shipbuilding' (alias: Union Iron Works)
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- Era/class inference only: Ingraham was a Wickes-class "flush-deck"/four-stack steam-turbine destroyer built in 1918 by Union Iron Works (Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corp., Union Plant), San Francisco - the Bethlehem-design "Little" variant of the class. A WWI-era steam warship of this type would, as a class matter, have carried period-standard boiler and steam-line insulation, lagging, gaskets, packing, and fireproofing materials common to naval steam propulsion of the era. Builder Union Iron Works resolves in the Atlas shipyard dataset only via the "Union Iron Works" alias on the 'bethlehem-shipbuilding' yard record, whose asbestos evidence concerns Bethlehem's Quincy/Baltimore operations, not the San Francisco Union Plant specifically.

- Union Iron Works construction trades, 1918 (era context only); crew 1919-1922
- Limitations
- Class/era inference only - no ship-specific finding is established by this row. This is not evidence that asbestos-containing material was installed, present, or handled aboard this specific hull; it does not identify products, quantities, or locations aboard USS Ingraham (DD-111). No ship-specific asbestos documentation exists for this hull (see ev-04, negative finding); the hull was disposed of in 1936-37 and no surviving structure exists to survey.

- Finding type
- litigation_documented
- Finding
- No qualifying asbestos litigation naming this hull was located. Exact-phrase "USS Ingraham"/"U.S.S. Ingraham" returned 1 opinion (United States v. Oakley, N.M.C.C.A. 2015 - a 2012-era court-martial necessarily involving FFG-61, the only Ingraham then in commission) and 8 dockets, all resolved by document review as name collisions: two asbestos personal-injury dockets (Greenleaf v. Atlas Copco, S.D. Ill. 3:14-cv-00051; Redman v. A.W. Chesterton, N.D. Cal. 3:08-cv-03013) explicitly involve USS Ingraham DD-694 - Redman's Cushing declaration states the hull number outright; two more asbestos dockets (Viscosi v. American Optical, D. Conn. 3:07-cv-01559; Brown v. Amchem, S.D.N.Y. 1:19-cv-05844) could not be document-verified (RECAP NoSuchKey) but cannot involve DD-111 given its 1919-22 service window; Perez (W.D. Wash., OSHA) and the two M.D. Fla. 2255 petitions involve FFG-61; Northwest Territorial Mint (Bankr. W.D. Wash.) matches a commemorative ship-coin asset line. Hull-number "DD-111" returned 2 opinions (both collisions: a Florida appellate docket number and an OCR artifact) and 40 dockets - all incidental substring matches (e.g., 'East Side DD 111 LLC' in Tucker v. East Side DD); no caption or matched context references a U.S. Navy destroyer or USS Ingraham.

- Limitations
- A public-index sweep confirms no located litigation naming this hull as of 2026-09-26; it does not prove no such litigation exists - PACER-gated dockets, sealed filings, and state-court records outside CourtListener's index are not searched, and two asbestos dockets (Viscosi, Brown) matched on non-retrievable documents and were classified as collisions on service-date grounds rather than document review. 'Ingraham' is a common surname (e.g., Ingraham v. Wright); a bare name-only sweep was not run without the 'USS'/'DD-111' qualifier, to avoid false positives. See search_ledger for exact queries.
