   Finding

   Documented for this hull across the two linked DANFS entries (LST-880 stub + full Lake County narrative): laid down 6 November 1944 at Evansville, Ind., by the Missouri Valley Bridge & Iron Co.; launched 16 December 1944; sponsored by Mrs. L. H. Quigley; commissioned at New Orleans, La., 9 January 1945, Lt. (jg.) James T. Connolly in command.

Months with no cataloged LST-880 diary (Jan-Mar 1945 transit period, Jul 1945, Oct-Dec 1945) are coverage gaps - the unit titled '10/1-31/45' carries the September diary, and no October diary was located.

   Disposal chain for this hull: DANFS records only that, 'Declared unsuitable for further naval service, she was used as a target ship for destruction' following the 25 November 1958 decommissioning, with no date or location. The stricken date is unknown in every authoritative source checked (NavSource 'date unknown'; NVR excludes pre-1987 disposals entirely). Reputable specialist secondary sourcing fixes the year: Warship International's published 'Comments and Corrections' column (INRO) lists 'LST-880 sunk as target 1960,' matching NavalCoverMuseum's 'Sunk as target 1960.' A conflicting secondary claim (Grokipedia list: 'sold for scrapping in 1960,' stricken 'December 3, 1959') is unverified and contradicted by the target-use disposition - carried in gaps.

   Finding

   Era inference for this hull: the LST-542 design group ran a diesel plant (2 x GM 12-567A diesels, 900 hp each, single Falk main reduction gear, twin screws 1,700 shp - BuShips design table and this hull's NavSource spec block) with no boilers, so the steam-plant lagging pathway of boiler vessels does not apply. Asbestos-relevant applications aboard a 1944 diesel landing ship of this type were the era-standard set - diesel-exhaust and machinery-space lagging, gaskets and packing, accommodation thermal insulation, and deck coverings. Unlike a one-tour WWII hull, this vessel's service ran to November 1958 - still inside the Navy's asbestos-use era (asbestos-free insulation not specified until 1973, per GAO HRD-80-2).

The 1944 construction and entire 1945-1958 service life of this hull precede the substitution era entirely.

    CORRECTION (archival hull collision): NARA file unit NAID 139815988 is cataloged 'USS LST-880 - War Diary, 12/1-31/44' but the digitized document inside is the December 1944 war diary of USS PCE-880 - the letterhead reads 'U.S.S. PCE 880' with the patrol craft escort attached to Escort Group 91.2, recording industrial availability at Adak, Alaska, and escort of the SS Leonard from Adak to Attu. This hull (LST-880) was launched 16 December 1944 at Evansville, Indiana, and commissioned 9 January 1945 at New Orleans - it cannot have been at Adak.

    Finding

    Undigitized primary leads for this hull: (1) NARA file unit NAID 2761335 'LST-880,' RG 38 series 'Material Inspection Reports and Related Documentation' - a hull-named material inspection file consistent with the Board of Inspection and Survey record that would underlie the 1958 'unsuitable for further naval service' determination; (2) NAID 153715456 'Plans for the Tank Landing Ship USS Lake County (LST-880),' RG 19 Ship Engineering Drawings, engineering category S0103 (Booklet of General Plans) - the ship-level plan set of the type that records insulation arrangements. Neither is digitized; both are College Park access leads.

    Study period

    1958 (probable, for the inspection lead)

    Population

    INSURV inspectors and Charleston Naval Shipyard workforce (if the inspection unit is the 1958 survey)

    Limitations

    Archival leads only - file-unit titles verified, contents not read (undigitized). An INSURV material-inspection report and a booklet of general plans are the strongest located paths to ship-level material documentation for this hull, but neither's contents are known to address asbestos. No asbestos claim is made from these leads.
