    Catalog/listing evidence establishes the existence and coverage dates of deck logs, not their contents. It provides no asbestos or exposure finding; later logs are not shown by this listed span.

    Study period

    Limitations
    Official NAVSEA summary table; it records removal from the inactive-ship list and a broad disposition category, not buyer, sale terms, scrapping date, or asbestos condition. The PDF returns HTTP 403 to direct access; its indexed search result exposed the PC-1178 row. DANFS search text separately gives a 30 June 1960 sale date, but its live page returns 404 and no archived capture was located, so that date is excluded from the record.

    Finding
    No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazardous-material disclosure, or asbestos-related case naming USS Kewaunee (PC-1178/PCC-1178) was verified in this research pass. Ship-specific asbestos documentation remains unknown.

    Limitations
    This is a bounded search result, not proof that records do not exist. Firecrawl was unavailable after reporting a 27,018-second keyless quota wait; direct/indexed searches were incomplete; authenticated CourtListener requests were blocked by the fleet pacing limiter before any request was sent. No inference is made from the vessel's reported class, construction era, or machinery. CourtListener exact-name docket search later returned a 9,550-second (~2.7-hour) wait; no further CourtListener requests were made.
