- Limitations
- This is an inventory of logbooks, not the logs: log-coverage dates are not asserted commissioning/decommissioning dates, and the coverage ending 6/30/1945 does not mark end of service - later logs (through 1948 disposal) would appear in a different accession not listed in this entry. Log contents (yard availabilities, materials handled aboard) were not reviewed. The list reflects the 1978 inventory; no asbestos content.

- Secondary warship database records for this hull: ordered 9 March 1943; laid down 17 January 1944; launched 22 January 1944; commissioned 27 January 1944 - builder George Lawley & Sons, Neponset, Massachusetts. The commissioning date fills NavSource's 'date unknown' gap and matches the first day of NARA-inventoried deck-log coverage (ev-03).

- Secondary compilation (Guðmundur Helgason's Allied Warships database) - its commissioning date is not corroborated by a primary registry in this record; NavSource lists only 'Delivered' on 27 January 1944. Correspondence with the deck-log coverage start is consistent with commissioning on that date but is not proof of it. No asbestos content.

- Finding
- Class-level engineering documentation for the LCI-351 class via surviving sister LCI(L)-713 - same class AND same builder as this hull (George Lawley & Son, Neponset, which built 160 LCI + 47 LCS, 207 total, per the NRHP nomination yard table): welded 1/4-inch steel plate construction; propulsion by eight General Motors 6-71 diesel engines arranged in two banks of four, each bank driving a shaft with variable-pitch propeller; dual above-water/underwater engine exhaust systems; two 250 kW generators; compartment layout of troop holds, crew berthing, engine room, deckhouse, pilothouse, and conning station; armored electrical cabling typical of Navy ships of the era (NRHP nomination section 7).

- Limitations
- Documents the class design and a sister hull, NOT this vessel - no statement that LCI(L)-410 shared any specific installed material, and neither the HAER record nor the NRHP nomination contains an asbestos statement. Late-class sister (-713, built July-September 1944) had a centerline ramp; this hull (built January 1944) was an earlier side-ramper configuration. Any material inference from this documentation to this hull is class/era only.

[7]Era inference built on: NavSource spec block (eight GM 6-71 diesels; no steam plant); HAER OR-180 class engineering record (welded-steel LCI-351 design, diesel plant, dual exhaust, armored cabling); GAO HRD-80-2 Navy asbestos program documentation (see ev-07) [other_primary]

- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- A diesel-powered LCI-351 class landing craft built in January 1944 sits inside the Navy's documented asbestos-use era; era-standard asbestos applications aboard a small diesel craft of this type and period were engine and exhaust insulation/lagging, gaskets, valve packing, electrical and armor-cable insulation, and brake linings on winches/windlass. As a diesel craft she carried no steam plant - the boiler/turbine lagging pathway of larger Navy vessels does not apply, and insulation scope aboard a 158-foot beaching craft was correspondingly small.

- 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 entire construction (January 1944) and service era (1944-1948).

Unexamined leads remain: the NARA deck logs (SL44 coverage 1/27/1944-6/30/1945) and any Bureau of Ships construction/work-package records. Does not establish or defeat any claim of exposure or legal eligibility.
