- NARA guided topic sections describing RG 19/RG 24 and insulation/lagging and piping drawing series
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- NARA's guided topic on researching asbestos aboard U.S. naval vessels identifies Bureau of Ships ship/hull correspondence, ship general information books, and S39 insulation/lagging and S48 piping drawing groups as archival paths for ship-specific research. No DD-755 file or drawing was retrieved in this batch.

- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos documentation was located in the authoritative sources searched: no DD-755 asbestos survey, abatement contract, engineering material inventory, or product identification was found. This is a bounded negative finding, not proof that ACM was absent.
