[1]NHHC DANFS index, search results for 'Jacamar' and 'AMCU-25' (history.navy.mil); confirmed non-match against 'Jacamar I (AMc-47)' DANFS entry [nhhc_danfs]
- Locator
- Search-engine index snippet naming 'Jacamar I (AMc-47)' as the sole DANFS 'Jacamar' entry; direct URL fetch returned HTTP 503
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No NHHC/DANFS ship-history entry exists for this hull under any of its names (LCI(L)-870, LSIL-870, or USS Jacamar/AMCU-25). A site-restricted search of history.navy.mil for 'Jacamar' and 'AMCU-25' returns exactly one DANFS entry titled 'Jacamar I,' which covers USS Jacamar (AMc-47) - a separate, earlier wooden-hulled coastal minesweeper commissioned in 1941. That entry does not reference AMCU-25 or LCI(L)-870.

- Limitations
- Confirms no DANFS entry exists for this hull as indexed by search; does not itself establish this ship's construction, service, or asbestos history. Direct fetch of history.navy.mil returned HTTP 503 in this research session, so this finding rests on search-index snippets rather than a full page retrieval - noted as partial rather than verified. Does not rule out an un-indexed NHHC record.

[2]CourtListener API v4 search (query_ids 4d569602, 8be3a052, fb11e1e1, 1b2f9064, c3f269ef, 30fd1b51, b255a8f8, f61c9dc1, 12397651), executed 2026-09-23 [court_record]

- Finding
- CourtListener API v4 full-text search across Opinions (type=o), Dockets (type=d), and Recap Documents (type=rd/r) for the terms 'Jacamar', 'USS Jacamar', 'AMCU-25', 'LCI(L)-870', 'LCI 870', and 'LSIL-870' (with and without 'asbestos'/'mesothelioma'/'navy' qualifiers) returned no qualifying case naming this vessel. The only incidental hits (bare term 'Jacamar', type=d and type=r, 10 and 2 results respectively) were unrelated bankruptcy-court dockets - In re Motors Liquidation Co. (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 09-50026), In re Highway Technologies, Inc. (Bankr. D. Del. 13-11326), and similar matters with no Navy or asbestos-exposure subject matter - where the match traces to an unrelated creditor/party/address entry, not the vessel.

- Limitations
- Establishes that no qualifying published opinion, docket, or recap document naming this vessel by any known designation was found in CourtListener's index as of the search date. Does not establish that no such litigation ever existed (unpublished, unindexed, sealed, or state-court records outside CourtListener's coverage would not appear); does not establish anything about asbestos aboard this hull one way or the other.

[3]U.S. GAO, HRD-80-2, Navy Efforts To Protect Workers From Asbestos Exposure (Oct. 18, 1979) [gao]

- Finding type
- regulatory
- Finding
- GAO report HRD-80-2, 'Navy Efforts To Protect Workers From Asbestos Exposure' (issued 18 Oct 1979, released 22 Oct 1979), found that although all Navy ships contained some asbestos in components such as clutches and electric cables, most ships delivered in recent years or under construction as of 1979 had little or no asbestos used as thermal insulation - the Navy's major shipboard use of asbestos. The review's field scope was Long Beach and Norfolk Naval Shipyards.

- Population
- U.S. Navy fleet generally; Long Beach and Norfolk Naval Shipyard workers
- Limitations
- Fleet-wide, program-level finding; does not name this hull, its builder (New Jersey Shipbuilding Corp.), or its 1953-54 conversion yard (Puget Sound Naval Shipyard), and Long Beach/Norfolk are not this ship's builder or conversion yard. Provides general era context only - not evidence of asbestos aboard this specific hull. gao.gov was blocked by this session's network egress policy; this row is sourced from a search-index summary of the report, not the primary PDF, and is marked partial rather than verified pending full-text confirmation.
