- NavSource timeline for this hull: LCI-351 class; laid down 10 March 1944 at Defoe Shipbuilding Co., Bay City MI; launched 28 March 1944; commissioned USS LCI(L)-1056, 10 April 1944, ENS C. L. Edman USNR in command (still CO May 1945); reclassified Landing Craft Infantry (Guns) LCI(G)-1056, 31 December 1944; reclassified Landing Craft Infantry (Mortar) LCI(M)-1056, 30 April 1945. Asiatic-Pacific campaigns: Leyte operation - Leyte landings, 20 October 1944 (as LCI(L)-1056); Luzon operation - Lingayen Gulf landing, 9 January 1945 (as LCI(G)-1056); Iwo Jima operation - assault and occupation, 19 February-3 March 1945 (as LCI(G)-1056); Okinawa Gunto operation - assault and occupation, 26 March-14 June 1945 (as LCI(G)/LCI(M)-1056). NavSource attributes the hull to LCI Flotilla Fourteen / Group Forty / Division Eighty for Iwo Jima and Okinawa - contradicted by the official 1 May 1945 Pacific Fleet organization (see ev-03). Decommissioned, date unknown; struck from the Naval Register, date unknown; four battle stars; transferred to the U.S. Army 26 February 1947; final disposition fate unknown. Awards displayed: Combat Action Ribbon (retroactive, Iwo Jima); American Campaign Medal; Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal (4); WWII Victory Medal; Philippines Presidential Unit Citation; Philippines Liberation Medal. Call sign NZOE. Spec block: 246 t light / 264 t landing / 419 t loaded; 158'5.5" x 23'3"; 16 kts max (14 continuous); two sets of 4 GM 6051-series-71 diesels (4 per shaft), single GM main reduction gears, twin variable-pitch propellers, 2,320 shp; 2 x 30kW 120V DC diesel-drive generators; complement 4+24 (LCI(L)) / 5+65 (LCI(G)) / 4+49 (LCI(M)); troop capacity 6 officers + 182 enlisted; LCI(M) armament one single 40mm forward, four 20mm, and three 4.2-inch chemical mortars tripod-mounted in sandboxes on the well deck, with the No. 2 troop compartment converted to a magazine. Photo caption places LCI(M)-1056 moored pierside with LCI(G)-563, probably in the Philippines.

- NavSource is a volunteer secondary compilation, not a primary registry - its history cites Turner Publishing's 1995 USS LCI Vol. II. Contains no asbestos content. The flotilla attribution is contradicted by the official fleet-organization document (ev-03); the page header carries a '1944 - 1934' typo (for 1945) not propagated here. Campaign-credit dates are fleet campaign windows, not per-hull daily positions; the action reports (ev-04) are the ship-level record. The 'transferred to the US Army' line is NavSource's only disposition statement and conflicts in detail with the Korean-service compilations (ev-08).

- The Defoe yard table records yard hull 309 as LCI(L) 1056, U.S. Navy, landing craft, 236 t / 158 ft, delivered 1-Apr-44, disposition 'To Korea 1949'. The table shows Defoe yard hulls 305-351 delivered as LCI(L)-1052 through -1098 - the yard's full LCI(L) block (some hulls later cancelled range 1099-1109 noted). The 'To Korea 1949' disposition corroborates the Korean-service identification in ev-08.

- Finding
- CORRECTION: the official Pacific Fleet organization as of 1 May 1945 - inside the Okinawa campaign window (26 Mar-14 Jun 1945) - lists LCI 1056 under LCI FLOTILLA SIX (Comdr. A. R. Montgomery), LCI GROUP 17 (Lt. Cdr. G. W. Hannett USNR), LCI DIVISION 34 (M) [mortar division], commanding officer Ens. C. L. Edman (USNR), alongside sisters LCI 975, 1055, 1057, 1058, 1059. This contradicts NavSource's attribution of the hull to LCI Flotilla Fourteen / Group Forty / Division Eighty for the Iwo Jima and Okinawa Gunto campaigns: in the same official document, Division 80's roster (Flotilla 14 / Group 40) is LCI 550, 734, 739(GP)(M), 740(M), 741(M), 742(M) - entirely different hulls.

- Finding
- Ship-specific action reports filed under LCI(M)-1056 exist at NARA for two campaigns: the invasion of Iwo Jima (19 February-3 March 1945) and the invasion of Okinawa Jima (1-10 April 1945). Catalog-matched records naming this hull further include her parent-unit reports - LCI(M) Group 17's Okinawa occupation report (11 April-14 June 1945) and May 1945 war diary (consistent with the official Flotilla Six/Group 17/Division 34(M) assignment, ev-03) and LCI(M) Group 18's Leyte assault report (20-23 October 1944) - and records of the landing-craft repair ships USS Achilles (ARL-6) and USS Egeria (ARL-8) at San Pedro Bay, Leyte, in November 1944, placing this hull alongside ARL repair units in the post-Leyte window (consistent with the LCI association's published account of LCIs 65, 1056, and 432 tied up alongside Achilles near Egeria).

The Iwo Jima report is titled 'LCI(M)-1056' although NavSource credits that campaign to the LCI(G) designation and dates the formal LCI(M) reclassification 30 April 1945 - consistent with in-theater conversion preceding the paperwork, or retroactive titling when the report was filed (dated 5 March 1945); unresolved, see gaps. Achilles/Egeria hits are catalog OCR matches - they establish the hull is named in those documents, not what work was done alongside the repair ships. No asbestos content in the metadata.

- A complete archival trail exists for this hull: deck logs covering commissioning (10 April 1944) through 30 June 1945 indexed in Special List 44 (corroborating the batch tasking's NARA note); digitized muster rolls (personnel rosters - crew population evidence); a Board of Inspection and Survey material-inspection file (the Navy's formal material-condition documentation); and Bureau of Ships engineering drawings. The INSURV material file and deck logs are the most likely repositories of any material/condition detail bearing on era insulation. The hull does not appear on NARA's 'Navy Deck Logs Available in the National Archives Catalog' online list - the WWII-era LCI logs are undigitized.

The appendix's LCI(M) conversion lists (Mios Woendi; Pearl Harbor; San Diego Naval Repair Base; San Pedro; Manus Island; Craig Shipbuilding; Harbor Boat Building) do NOT include 1056 - Rielly notes 'some ships are not listed as their conversion locations are unavailable', so this hull's mortar-conversion site is undocumented.

- Two independent secondary compilations identify this hull's post-US identity: ShipbuildingHistory's Defoe table carries yard hull 309 'To Korea 1949', and Navypedia lists Republic of Korea No. 105 'Cheongjin' explicitly as 'ex-LCI(M)1056, ex-LCI(G)1056, ex-LCI(L)1056', Defoe-built 1944, ROK service from 1949, stricken 1962. The ROK defense ministry's daily paper documents the Korean Coast Guard's six-ex-US-LCI acquisition series of late 1946 - Cheongjin among the last pair, acquired 31 December 1946 - and states that of the six, five (Seoul, Jinju, Chuncheon, Cheongju, Jinnampo) were removed from the fleet list 20 January 1949 while Cheongjin was not among them, consistent with her longer documented service; the article's photo caption 'Cheongjin (LCI-105) sailing in waters near Jinhae' ties the Korean name to hull number 105, matching Navypedia's No. 105. A third secondary source (warshipsresearch) carries variant dates: delivered 23 December 1946, commissioned 22 January 1947, decommissioned 15 March 1956, became service craft YSAG 2.

- Finding
- A landing craft built in March-April 1944 at a U.S. contract shipyard sits inside the Navy's documented asbestos-use era and the wartime emergency-construction program. Era-standard applications aboard a diesel landing craft of this type and period were thermal insulation and lagging on engine and exhaust runs (the class design routed diesel exhaust through above- and under-water systems inside the hull), gaskets, valve packing, electrical insulation, and insulating materials in galley and crew spaces. As a diesel craft she carried no steam plant - the boiler/turbine lagging pathway of larger ships does not apply - but the confined-space character of a 158-foot craft concentrates any disturbed-material pathway. Her LCI(G) conversion at Pearl Harbor (weapons installation per Rielly) and her LCI(M) mortar conversion at an undocumented location (magazine conversion of the No. 2 troop compartment, mortar positions on the well deck) are documented disturbance events; post-war Army (1947) and Korean service (to 1956/1962) extend any retained-material exposure window into the unregulated era.

CourtListener was queried successfully this session - zero hits in the opinion index and the RECAP/docket index across two query sets ("LCI(L)-1056" OR "LCI(M)-1056" OR "LCI(G)-1056" OR "LCI-1056"; "LCI 1056" OR "LCI(M) 1056" OR "LCI(G) 1056" OR "LCI(L) 1056" OR "LCIM-1056" OR "LCIG-1056") - a genuine negative result, not a blocked search. Secondary web sweeps surfaced no qualifying case; the only 'asbestos aboard' material is law-firm marketing content (generic landing-craft listicles and Defoe-yard marketing pages on mesothelioma.net, mesothelioma.com, mesotheliomalawyercenter.org, gpwlaw.com) asserting asbestos without primary sourcing - excluded by source policy.

- Limitations
- Absence of a located public record does not prove absence of asbestos aboard - the hull was built and twice converted inside the documented Navy asbestos era and served Korean waters into the 1956/1962 disposal window. Deck logs (SL-44 holding, undigitized), the INSURV material-inspection file (NAID 2760247), engineering drawings, and the action reports are the highest-value unexamined leads. Does not establish or defeat any claim of exposure or legal eligibility.
