- NavSource is a curated secondary archive; this page's history derives from Turner Publishing's USS LCI Vol. II (1995) and official photo captions. Decommissioning, striking, and post-USAF dates are not given ('date unknown'); no primary record is linked for the transfer date beyond the 1951 photo documentation. Does not establish asbestos presence or absence.

- Finding
- The Flotilla 22 roster lists LCI(L)-1032 (and -1033) among the flotilla's 36 ships. The history records that after 15 August 1945 the flotilla broke up and 'the 433, 434, 435, 436, 518, 519, 445, 446, 776, 777, 1032 and 1033 were assigned to Commander Yangtze Patrol Force.' It describes the flotilla's Lingayen Gulf operation (arrival 9 January 1945, smoke-making duty on the gulf's outer edge) and subsequent Philippine landings collectively.

[7]K.M. (widow of J.M.) v. Lockheed Shipbuilding, Albina Engine and Machine, et al., BRB No. 08-0403 (Benefits Review Board, U.S. Department of Labor, decided 30 December 2008); McAllister litigation, third Board decision [court_record]

- Finding
- In a Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act death-benefits claim (decided 30 December 2008), the Benefits Review Board affirmed the ALJ's finding that Albina Engine and Machine - the yard that built LCI(L)-1032 - was the 'responsible employer': the decedent, a shipyard carpenter who died of pleural mesothelioma in September 2002, was last exposed to asbestos at Albina Engine's Portland facility (his Albina employment ended 1957). The Board stated 'the evidence of asbestos exposure at Albina is not as strong as at WISCO' but affirmed that Lockheed had established no exposure, leaving Albina Engine liable.

- Portland-area shipyard workers, 1956-1960 employment period
- Limitations
- Yard-level adjudication, not a vessel finding: no ship is named, and the decedent's Albina employment (1956-57) postdates this hull's 1944 construction by about 12 years. It documents that asbestos exposure at the Albina yard was adjudicated and affirmed at the merits level in a later era - context for the builder's asbestos environment only. Establishes nothing about asbestos aboard LCI(L)-1032.

HAER AK-52 documents sister hull LCI(L)-653's construction and post-Navy Alaska service. Full-text review of both reports finds no asbestos or hazardous-material content - the class records document design and history only.

- Finding
- No qualifying ship-specific asbestos record located: no asbestos survey, abatement contract, hazmat disclosure, or docketed case naming USS LCI(L)-1032 was found in the public sources searched. CourtListener returned zero opinions and zero dockets for the hull ('LCI(L)-1032', 'LCI-1032', type=o and type=r, 2026-09-29); a 'landing craft' asbestos opinion sweep surfaced two incidental, non-qualifying hits. The only 'asbestos aboard LCI' material on the open web is law-firm marketing content asserting asbestos without primary sourcing - excluded by source policy.

- Limitations
- Absence of a located public record does not prove absence of asbestos aboard - era-standard materials on a 1944 combatant make asbestos plausible, but it is not ship-proven. The NARA deck logs (8/4/1944-12/31/1945) are undigitized and unexamined; shipyard work packages and USAF-era records are additional open leads. Does not establish or defeat any claim of exposure or legal eligibility.
