   A live NavSource page identifies the vessel as ex-LCI(L)-701, ex-LSI(L)-701, ex-AMCU-19 (Chewink), and MHC-19.

   Limitations

   NavSource is a secondary photo archive and is retained only as an archival lead; none of this chronology has been independently verified against an official Navy, NARA, or other primary record. The page links to an NHHC DANFS entry whose URL currently returns HTTP 404; Firecrawl was quota-exhausted and a Wayback CDX lookup timed out. This source says nothing about asbestos or any person's exposure.
