- environmental_record
- Finding
- Disposal record for this hull: AP reported 5 July 2011 that Jarrett had joined the Navy's mothball fleet at Bremerton, Wash., and was for sale, scrapping being the stated outcome if no buyer emerged. Trade press then documents the scrapping: UK-based EMR took delivery of six U.S. Navy vessels under a single federal dismantling contract (reported as awarded through the Defense Logistics Agency) - USS Forrest Sherman (DD-931), USS George Philip (FFG-12), USS Jarrett (FFG-33), USS Sides (FFG-14), USS Thomas S. Gates (CG-51), and USS Doyle (FFG-39) - dismantled at EMR's Southern Recycling subsidiary, New Orleans/Sulphur, La. Navsource photo documentation records contract award 15 December (2014) and Jarrett's arrival under tow by tug Crosby Integrity at Southern Recycling, Sulphur, La., on 18 June 2015.

- Limitations
- Trade-press and enthusiast documentation; the underlying contract award document is not public, and the press-reported DLA award agency could not be confirmed against USAspending (parallel NAVSEA 'towing and dismantling' awards visible there are CV 59/63 carrier scopes). No asbestos-specific content: the scrapping required hazmat handling under the contract, but no public ACM survey, NESHAP notice, or abatement record for this hull's dismantling was located. Navsource '15 December 2015' contract date is inconsistent with the June 2015 tow; navysite's 15 December 2014 date fits the timeline - carried as a logged conflict.

- The term 'asbestos' does not appear anywhere in the hull's own digitized command histories (text-extracted and searched for this review). The reports do document extensive shipyard disturbance periods - 1986 Long Beach Naval Shipyard SRA; 1988-89 EDSRA at Southwest Marine San Pedro (drydocked 10 Jan-3 Apr 1989, crew aboard YRBM-39); 1991 Al Larson SRA-3; 1997 and 1999 Continental Maritime SRAs; 2001 Southwest Marine DSRA plus sonar-dome drydocking; 2002 Southwest Marine SRA; 2004 NASSCO availability - none of which carries any asbestos scope in the ship's own reporting.

- Finding type
- gov_survey
- Finding
- Era boundary for this hull's construction window: GAO records the Navy's stated position that although all ships contain some asbestos in such components as clutches and electric cables, most ships delivered in the last several years or then under construction had little or no asbestos as thermal insulation - the Navy's major shipboard asbestos use. The report documents the Navy's October 1975 policy of removing and replacing only damaged asbestos insulation with non-asbestos materials, and its January 1979 modification to selectively replace asbestos insulation in high-maintenance areas where repairs were expected in a ship's next operating cycle.

Full-text pull remains an open lead.

- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- Era/class context only: the Oliver Hazard Perry design eliminated the steam boiler plant (single shaft, two GE LM2500 gas turbines, retractable auxiliary propulsion units) - removing the high-pressure boiler and steam-line insulation systems that were the principal asbestos pathway on earlier steam frigates. Per the GAO-documented Navy transition (ev-06), ships of this construction era retained possible residual asbestos uses in components such as clutches, electric cables, gaskets, packing, and transitional interior products (e.g., floor tile); which of these, if any, were installed in or remained aboard this hull is undocumented.

Absence of a steam plant does not establish absence of ACM; presence of residual transitional ACM aboard FFG-33 is equally unverified.

Name-collision screening classified every located hit. 'Jarrett' without the USS prefix was not swept separately - a docketed plaintiff alleging exposure 'aboard Jarrett' without the prefix could evade exact-name queries; flagged as residual coverage limit.
