- Finding
- No qualifying litigation record naming this vessel under any of its identities ("LCI(L)-883", "AMCU-27", "USS Killdeer (AMCU-27)", "Killdeer" + AMCU-27) was located. CourtListener API v4 searches across opinions, RECAP documents, and docket-only indexes returned zero results for every query variant run this session (see search_ledger sl-uss-killdeer-amcu27-06 and sl-uss-killdeer-amcu27-07).

- Limitations
- Zero results is a negative finding on the searched repository only; it does not rule out unindexed state-court, sealed, settled, or pre-electronic-filing litigation, and CourtListener/RECAP federal-docket coverage is not complete for all districts and periods. No PACER cross-check was performed. Does not establish or defeat any claim of exposure or legal eligibility.

- historical_record
- Finding
- No ship-specific or class-era asbestos documentation, hull survey, abatement record, or general LCI(L)-class material/general-characteristics specification was located this session. Every standard official source for this kind of record (NHHC/DANFS, NavSource, HathiTrust, NARA) was either unreachable (server error) or blocked by this research environment's network policy, and NARA's catalog/API returned no results.

- Study period
- 2026-09-23
- Limitations
- This is a primary-source access-failure gap, not a completed negative search and not proof of absence: it establishes only that this research session could not reach the standard official sources for this hull, not that no ship-specific or class-era documentation exists. Must be re-run once NHHC/DANFS access is restored before this record is treated as complete. Does not establish or defeat any claim of asbestos presence, exposure, or legal eligibility.
