   The ship's own action report (Enclosure L of the Commander LCI(L) Flotilla Two forwarding letter, dated 17 July 1943, signed by Commanding Officer John B. Miller) documents USS LCI(L) No. 12's troop landings during Operation HUSKY, the Sicily invasion: (1) in company with LCI(L)s 13, 14, 83, 84 and 325, she disembarked 207 U.S. Army troops (11 officers, 196 men) 'by order of Reserve Group Commander Imlay, on the quay in the harbor of Licata, Sicily (during the attack by the Joss force on that island) at approximately 1340 on July 10, 1943, without damage to the ship or injury or loss of life'; (2) in company with LCI(L)s 9, 13, 14, 15 and 16, she disembarked 158 U.S. Army troops (6 officers, 152 men) 'by order of Group Commander Wilson, over bow ramps and through 3 feet 9 inches of dead calm water onto the beach (located approximately 3 miles Southeast of Licata, Sicily) at about 1450 on July 14, 1943.' First endorsement by E. W. Wilson, Commander Group Four LCI(L) Flotilla Two.

One recovered sailor (Seaman Bull) was pronounced dead by Inglefield's surgeon Lt. Redmond aboard LCI(L)-12 at 2245; survivors were disembarked at Anzio harbor at 1005 on 26 February.

The same day she got underway at 1605 for Bizerte in compliance with Commander NOB Palermo order NB/A4-3, in convoy with YMS 64, SC 532, SC 977 and LCIs 35, 26, 41, 196 and 218 (radio codeword BEDSPREAD51); she arrived off the Bizerte breakwater 2 November and tied up south side Pier 16, La Pecherie, at 1340. On 16 December she returned from a run off the north Sicily coast (course changes logged abeam Ustica and Marettimo islands) and docked alongside LCI-215 at Bizerte at 2350; she remained alongside LCI-215 on 17 December, end of file coverage. Sheets are signed by watch officers (incl. Ens. C. H. Herber, Lt.(jg) L. L. Wright) and by 'JOHN B. MILLER, Lieut., USNR - Navigator & Commanding Officer.'

    Finding

    Class/era assessment: the LCI(L)-1 design was diesel-powered (two banks of GM series-71 engines, 4 per shaft) with no boilers and no steam distribution, so the steam-system insulation (boiler lagging, steam-line covering, turbine insulation) that dominated asbestos load on steam vessels of the era was absent from this class. Remaining era-typical applications possible aboard include gaskets, machinery packing, exhaust-system insulation, electrical and wire insulation, joiner and deck coverings, and brake linings. The hull was built in 1942 at New York Shipbuilding, Camden - a yard whose Atlas record documents extensive asbestos product use (Pabco block, Ehret magnesia insulation, Transite panels, asbestos gaskets and wire insulation) and heavy asbestos-related disease in its workforce.

    Finding

    No qualifying ship-specific asbestos record located: no asbestos survey, abatement contract, hazmat disclosure, or material specification naming USS LCI(L)-12 was found in the public sources searched (NARA catalog, NHHC/DANFS, NPS, MARAD, naval-history transcription sites). No DANFS entry exists for this hull at all.

    Limitations

    Absence of a located public record does not prove absence of asbestos aboard - 1942 construction at an asbestos-documented yard is era-consistent with possible retained asbestos-containing materials in gaskets, electrical insulation, and joiner work. Does not establish presence or absence; does not establish or defeat any claim of exposure or legal eligibility.

    Finding

    CourtListener sweeps by exact designation returned no qualifying asbestos litigation: opinion search 'LCI(L)-12' returned 116 hits, all name collisions on review (LCI Communications/LCI International telecom matters, businesses abbreviated 'LCI' such as LandCoast Insulation and Lucier Chemical Industries, and OCR noise - none referencing a vessel); verbatim docket search '"LCI(L)-12"' returned exactly one hit, United States v. IC Link Industries, Ltd., 1:17-cr-00236 (N.D. Ohio, filed 2017-06-21, terminated 2020-11-16) - a criminal case against a company named 'IC Link Industries,' a token collision, not asbestos litigation; variant search '"LCI-12" OR "LCIL-12"' returned 2 hits, both unrelated North Carolina docket-noise collisions (Vann v. N.C. D.O.C.; Lowder Construction v. Phillips). The spaced-variant query '"LCI 12" OR "LCI(L) 12"' could not be completed before the fleet rate-limit stand-down; logged as a gap.

    Limitations

    CourtListener coverage is not exhaustive of PACER/state filings; the opinion-index review covered returned hits, which were all collisions. Absence of litigation naming a hull does not establish absence of exposure; LCI-class claims would typically be pleaded by class name or not at all given the craft's size and diesel plant.
