[8]Era inference built on: NavSource specifications block (eight GM 71-series diesel engines, four per shaft - diesel-only plant, no boilers); GAO HRD-80-2 program finding that the Navy used asbestos insulation in ships and managed removal/replacement into the 1970s; documented asbestos product categories for WWII Navy construction (thermal insulation, lagging, gaskets, packing, electrical insulation, brake/friction linings) [other_primary]

- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- An amphibious landing craft built in mid-1943 sits inside the Navy's documented asbestos-use era. Era-standard applications aboard a diesel-powered craft of this type and period were thermal insulation and lagging on diesel exhaust piping and engine-room spaces, machinery gaskets and valve packing, electrical wiring insulation, and friction linings (winch/windlass brakes). The LCI(G) conversion (1944) added 40mm and 20mm gun mounts, .50-caliber mounts, and ten MK7 rocket launchers - a wartime yard/force-level material change that is itself undocumented for this hull.

Names era-standard applications, not confirmed installed materials. Diesel-only plant: no boiler/turbine lagging pathway. No quantity. Product names are normalized era terms; no manufacturer attribution for this hull.

- Finding type

- Finding
- GAO reviewed the Navy's efforts to protect workers from asbestos exposure at the Long Beach and Norfolk Naval Shipyards, including the use of asbestos in Navy ships, the cost of removing asbestos, and compensation programs. The Navy's 1975 policy was to remove and replace with nonasbestos materials only insulation that was damaged or had to be removed for necessary repairs; the policy was modified in 1979 to selectively replace asbestos insulation in high-maintenance areas.

LCI(G)-464 was sold in 1946, decades before the policies described.

- Finding
- No qualifying ship-specific asbestos record located: no asbestos survey, abatement contract, hazmat disclosure, or docketed case naming LCI(L)-464 / LCI(G)-464 / LCI 464 was found in the public sources searched. CourtListener opinion and docket indexes returned zero hits across all designation variants (queries executed and verified 2026-09-30). A secondary web sweep for 'LCI-464 asbestos' produced no relevant material - not even the law-firm listicle coverage common for named ships. The hull was sold in 1946 with fate unknown; no surviving hulk, museum, or donation-condition hazmat file exists to survey.

- Absence of a located public record does not prove absence of asbestos aboard - the vessel was built and operated inside the Navy's documented asbestos-use era, and class/era inference (ev-07) stands on its own terms. Deck logs (ev-04) and action reports (ev-05, ev-06) are unexamined for material references. Does not establish or defeat any claim of exposure or legal eligibility.

[11]Designation cross-check: NHHC Navy/MC Awards Manual (rev. 1953) 'USS LCI (R) 464' styling vs NavSource, NARA Special List 44, NavalCoverMuseum, and uboat.net lineage (all LCI(G)-464) [nhhc_danfs]

- Finding
- The official awards manual styles the hull 'USS LCI (R) 464' (Landing Craft Infantry, Rocket) in its unit-awards table, while the rest of the public record - NavSource designation history, NARA Special List 44 ('LCI(L)(G)-464'), NavalCoverMuseum designation history, and uboat.net - carries the reclassification as LCI(G) (gunboat), effective 15 June 1944, with no subsequent (R) redesignation recorded. The gunboat fit documented for the class includes ten MK7 rocket launchers, consistent with informal or clerical (R) usage, but no formal LCI(R)-464 redesignation was located.

- Limitations
- Cannot resolve whether 'LCI (R) 464' reflects a late-war formal redesignation the public lineage sources missed, or a clerical variant in the awards manual - the manual itself uses inconsistent parenthetical styles elsewhere on the page ('LCI (6) 64', 'LCI (a) 439'). Carried as an alias variant, not adjudicated; hull identity is unambiguous (same number, same CO, same campaigns).
