    asbestos_application
    Finding
    An LST-542-class tank landing ship built August-December 1944 sits inside the Navy's documented asbestos-use era: GAO documents that asbestos thermal insulation was the Navy's major shipboard use of asbestos until specifications were revised in 1973, and that 'all ships contain some asbestos in such components as clutches and electric cables.' As a diesel-powered amphibious ship she carried no steam plant - the boiler/turbine lagging pathway of steam vessels does not apply - but era-standard applications aboard a vessel of this type and period were machinery and exhaust lagging, gaskets, valve packing, electrical insulation, and interior/accommodation fireproofing in crew and troop spaces. Wartime build at a Navy-requisitioned emergency yard places construction inside the period when federal asbestos supply was reserved for shipbuilding.

    gov_survey
    Finding
    GAO reviewed the Navy's asbestos worker-protection efforts at Long Beach and Norfolk Naval Shipyards and documented the program-wide picture: 'although all ships contain some asbestos in such components as clutches and electric cables, most ships delivered in the last several years or now under construction have little or no asbestos as thermal insulation, which was the Navy's major use of asbestos aboard ships.' Product specifications for thermal insulation were changed in 1973 to asbestos-free materials, but asbestos materials already purchased were in some cases installed in ships under construction; the Navy's October 1975 removal policy (replaced damaged insulation only) was modified in 1979 to include selective replacement in high-maintenance areas. The Navy estimated a one-time removal program at $2 billion.

    Absence of a located public record does not prove absence of asbestos aboard - era inference remains reasonable for a 1944-built Navy hull. The litigation repository search is a genuine open gap (throttled, not run). Korean disposal records describe structural deterioration and waste-oil removal, not asbestos; the 2017 inspection report and any Mokpo scrapping hazmat manifest are not public in located sources.

    Finding
    CORRECTION: reference compilations still carry stale or indeterminate dispositions for this hull - NavSource 'on display at Donghangpo ... as a tourist attraction' and museum trackers 'awaiting her fate.' Contemporaneous Korean reporting fixes the event: a handover ceremony at Danghangpo on 16 January 2020 returned the ship to the ROK Navy, which towed her to Mokpo for dismantling as scrap (Yuil shipyard named by Gyeongnam Ilbo). What is NOT confirmed by located sources is completion of the breakup - the correct status line is 'departed for scrapping at Mokpo, January 2020,' not 'still on display' and not a confirmed 'scrapped' date.

    Corrects stale disposition lines, not a material claim. Scrapping completion rests on intent reported at departure; a completion record was not located. No asbestos content.
