- Documented for this hull: laid down 17 April 1944 at New Jersey Ship Building Corp., Barber, N.J.; launched 12 May 1944; commissioned USS LCI(L)-613, 19 May 1944. Call sign NPHR. Assigned to the Asiatic-Pacific theater, LCI Flotilla Fifteen; listed campaign credits: Leyte operation (Leyte landings 5-29 November 1944; Ormoc Bay landings 7-8 December 1944), Luzon operation (Mindoro landings 12-18 December 1944), and under the 'Borneo operations' header, Visayan Island landings 26 March-9 April and 11-20 April 1945. Awards: Combat Action Ribbon (7 December 1944), China Service Medal (extended), American Campaign Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal (3), WWII Victory Medal, Navy Occupation Service Medal (Asia clasp), Philippine Liberation Medal (2). Post-war: Navy Occupation Service Medal 9-14 September 1945; China Service Medal 19 September-11 December 1945. Three battle stars. Decommissioned and struck - dates unknown. Transferred to the Maritime Commission 7 January 1948; final disposition 'fate unknown.' Specs: 246 t. light / 264 landing / 419 loaded; 158'5.5" x 23'3"; 16 kts max (14 continuous); complement 4 officers + 24 enlisted; troops 6 officers + 182 enlisted; five single 20mm guns; eight GM diesels (two sets of four, 6051-series 71), 2,320 shp, twin variable-pitch props, two 30kW diesel-drive generators. Photographic record places her landing 77th Division troops at Ormoc Bay 7 December 1944 alongside LCI(G)-578 and LCI(L)-686, and moored pierside with LCI(L)-982 during China service, circa September-December 1945.

- NavSource is a volunteer secondary compilation drawing on the Turner Publishing LCI history and veteran-contributed photographs - its milestone dates generally track official records but it is not a primary registry. Its campaign table is incomplete relative to the ship's own action reports: Lingayen Gulf (9-10 January 1945) and Dumaguete, Negros (26 April 1945) are documented by ship-authored reports (ev-03, ev-04) but do not appear in the NavSource listing - see ev-10 correction row.

These are log-coverage dates in the RG 24 deck-log collection, not commissioning/decommissioning dates - though the 19 May 1944 start coincides with the documented commissioning date. The inventory establishes that wartime deck logs for this hull exist in NARA's physical holdings at College Park.

The compiled narrative (from the TG 74.3/78.2 action reports) records that the LCI wave could not beach on 26 March 1945 due to a submerged log-boom obstacle and was unloaded just off the beach by LCVP, LCM and LCT.

- Finding
- A 1944-built diesel-powered landing craft of the LCI-351 class sits inside the Navy's documented asbestos-use era; era-standard applications aboard a small diesel craft of this type and period were diesel-exhaust lagging, thermal insulation within the machinery space, gaskets, valve packing, electrical insulation, and deck covering in a confined 158-foot hull. As a diesel craft she carried no steam plant - the boiler/turbine lagging pathway of steam vessels does not apply; the asbestos-relevant systems are the exhaust/engine-room insulation, gasket/packing applications, electrical and deck materials.

- Finding
- GAO documented the Navy's position that 'all ships contain some asbestos in such components as clutches and electric cables,' that asbestos in 'piping system gaskets and packing,' 'Navy ship decks' (floor tiling), 'Navy galley ranges,' and 'Navy ship equipment brakes and clutches' made it 'nearly impossible to build a Navy ship free of the mineral,' and that thermal insulation was 'the Navy's major use of asbestos aboard ships' - the Navy did not begin substituting alternative insulation materials until the early 1970s. This spans this hull's entire construction (April-May 1944) and service era (1944-c.1946).

- Finding
- CORRECTION/completeness flag: the NavSource campaign table for this hull lists the Leyte, Mindoro, and Visayan Island operations but omits two operations documented by the ship's own action reports - the Lingayen Gulf invasion (9-10 January 1945, transporting 6th Ranger Battalion troops and Alamo Scouts) and the Dumaguete assault landing on Negros (26 April 1945, transporting the 164th RCT). The Lingayen landings fall inside the Navy's official 'Luzon operation' campaign period, and Dumaguete inside the southern-Philippines/Visayan offensive period; the NavSource listing (which supports three battle stars) is a campaign-credit summary, not a complete operations list. Any secondary profile relying solely on the NavSource table will understate this hull's combat service.

- Limitations
- Completeness note, not an error correction of a legal-material claim: battle-star credit periods and operations participation are not the same thing; whether the Navy formally credited Lingayen or Dumaguete within her three stars is unverified (the awards listing consulted is NavSource's own). The ship-authored reports verify presence and troop lifts, which is what this row asserts. No asbestos content.
