- Limitations
- NavSource is a volunteer secondary compilation, not a primary registry - milestone dates are consistent across the independent secondary sources checked (uboat.net, shipbuildinghistory.com, navypedia) but rest on Turner Publishing's LCI compilation rather than a primary ship's data record. Contains no asbestos content. 'Circa 1945-46' decommission/stricken dates are imprecise (see gaps).

These are log-coverage dates in NARA custody (RG 24 logbooks), not digitized; they are a direct archival lead for ship-specific movement, personnel, and any recorded materials events.

Coverage ends 30 June 1945, before the 1945-46 decommissioning and 1946 disposal; post-June-1945 logs are not in this listing. NARA's heading form 'LCI(L)(G)-467' reflects the combined designation under which the logs were filed.

- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- The LCI(L)-351 class design (this hull's class, per NavSource designation) carried a diesel propulsion plant - two sets of four General Motors diesels on twin variable-pitch shafts - with no propulsion boilers, plus main-engine and generator mufflers in the engine room and a steam heating system (convectors and steam/condensate piping) serving crew spaces. Era-standard asbestos applications aboard a 1943 diesel landing craft of this type were exhaust and muffler lagging, insulation on the steam heating lines, gaskets, valve packing, and electrical insulation. As a diesel vessel she lacked the boiler/turbine lagging pathway of steam ships, so the total asbestos load was materially lower than on a steam combatant of the era - but the small-ship confined-space dynamic applies.

- Limitations

It names era-plausible applications, not confirmed installed materials, on this hull. No quantity. The contract table in this booklet revision does not include hull 467's contract (covers NObs 987/1131/1258/1261/1412/1413/1694 hull ranges) - class membership carried from NavSource.

- No qualifying ship-specific asbestos record located: no asbestos survey, abatement contract, hazmat disclosure, or litigation naming USS LCI(L)-467 / LCI(G)-467 (or foreign names Tropenvogel / Amahai) was found in the public sources searched. CourtListener authenticated API searches returned zero exact-phrase hits in opinions for 'LCI(G)-467', 'LCI(L)-467', and 'LCI-467', and zero docket hits for 'LCI(L)-467' and 'LCI-467'; the 'LCI(G)-467' docket query remained blocked by fleet pacing after retries (logged blocked, not a negative result). Secondary web sweeps surfaced no law-firm or marketing page asserting asbestos aboard this specific hull - the only 'asbestos' content found anywhere in the search space is generic LCI-class or Navy-program material. There is no DANFS entry for this numbered craft and no NVR entry (disposed before the register's 1987 coverage floor).
