    NavSource is a compiled secondary reference (transcribing Turner Publishing's USS LCI volume and official campaign-list data), not a contemporaneous log or action report. The Saidor dates it prints for this hull (25-27 February 1944) differ from the Saidor-occupation dates the same compiled source prints for sibling hulls (e.g., 2-3 January 1944 on its LCI(L)-28 page) - flagged in gaps, not resolved.

    NARA's Special List 44 inventory (List of Logbooks of U.S. Navy Ships, Stations, and Miscellaneous Units, 1801-1947, by ship number) lists Navy deck logs for LCI(L)-364 covering 6 August 1943 through 30 June 1945 - in-scope wartime service documentation held in Record Group 24, retrievable for this hull. The coverage begins on the delivery date recorded by shipbuildinghistory (6 August 1943), two days before the 8 August 1943 commissioning, and ends while the vessel remained in service (struck 17 April 1946; the flotilla diary shows her operational in the Philippines in September 1945).

Remaining era-typical applications possible aboard include engine exhaust and muffler lagging, machinery thermal/acoustic insulation in the engine room and accommodations, engine and system gaskets, valve packing, electrical and wire insulation, joiner and deck coverings, and brake linings.

    Finding
    GAO documented that the Navy used asbestos insulation extensively aboard ships and did not begin substituting alternative insulation materials until the early 1970s - spanning this hull's construction (1943) and entire service era (1943-46).

    Finding
    No qualifying ship-specific asbestos record located: no asbestos survey, abatement contract, hazmat disclosure, museum record, material specification, or docketed asbestos case naming LCI(L)-364 / LCI-364 was found in the sources searched (see search_ledger). No individual DANFS entry exists for this numbered landing craft. Builder George Lawley & Sons Corp. (Neponset, MA) is not represented in the Atlas shipyard dataset, and no qualifying asbestos litigation naming the yard was located in the searches completed - so unlike sibling hulls built at documented yards there is no yard-level record to weigh; the builder linkage is simply undocumented. The yard itself closed in 1945 (shipbuildinghistory yard page).

    Limitations
    Absence of a located public record does not prove absence of asbestos aboard - as a 1943 combat-built landing craft the hull sits inside the documented Navy asbestos era. Does not establish that asbestos is or is not present, and does not establish or defeat any claim of exposure or legal eligibility. The vessel was disposed via the Maritime Commission/NDRF in 1948 with fate unknown, so no modern survey can exist unless the hull is identified.

    Finding
    CourtListener sweeps via the authenticated helper (HTTP 200, all completed queries): exact-name opinion search '"USS LCI(L)-364"' returned zero hits; exact hull-number opinion search '"LCI(L)-364"' returned zero hits; variant '"LCI-364"' returned zero hits; verbatim docket search '"LCI(L)-364" OR "LCI-364"' returned zero dockets and zero documents - no qualifying asbestos litigation, other litigation, or name collisions were returned at all. The builder-yard opinion query ('"Lawley" shipyard asbestos') could not be completed within the fleet rate-limit window and is logged as a gap.

    Limitations
    CourtListener coverage is not exhaustive of PACER/state filings; all four completed hull-name queries returned zero results with no collisions to classify, but the builder-yard query was not completed within the fleet rate-limit window, so the sweep is partial rather than exhaustive. 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.
