- Identity, construction, and wartime record for this hull: laid down 13 March 1944 at Commercial Iron Works, Portland, Ore.; launched 5 April 1944; commissioned USS LCI(L)-750 on 17 April 1944, Ltjg. S. A. R. White, USNR, in command. Wartime assignment: Asiatic-Pacific Theater - LCI Flotilla Eight, LCI Group Twenty-Three, LCI Division Forty-Five. Credited campaigns (three battle stars): Western New Guinea operation - Morotai landings, 15 September 1944; Leyte operation - Leyte landings 16-29 November 1944 and Ormoc Bay landings 8-10 December 1944; Manila Bay-Bicol operation - Nasugbu ('Nasbugu' in NavSource's spelling), 31 January 1945. Awards listed: American Campaign Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal (3), World War II Victory Medal, Philippines Liberation Medal (2). Decommissioned date unknown; struck from the Naval Register January 1947; transferred to the Maritime Commission for disposal 18 February 1948; transferred to the government of Argentina and redesignated ARA BDI No.5 (Q-58) in 1948; disposed of by the Argentine Navy in 1961, fate unknown.

- NavSource is a compiled secondary reference (transcribing Turner Publishing's USS LCI volume and Navy records), not a contemporaneous log or action report. Campaign credits are official-list summaries; decommissioning date is not given; the page spells the January 1945 landing 'Nasbugu' (the crew-compiled deck log and standard usage give 'Nasugbu'). The page's entry text never states an LCI(G) reclassification for this hull - only an image alt-tag and the volume footer carry the '(G)' designation - contrast uboat.net and sister-hull pages where a reclassification is stated explicitly.

Also carries a 'Reclassified as LCI(G), Landing Craft Guns on 15 June 1944' line that is NOT corroborated - NavSource's entry text states no reclassification for this hull, Colton's production table carries no (G) suffix for hull 750 (unlike G/GM-suffixed sisters), the deck-log summary shows continuous infantry-landing and smoke-screen service through August 1945 with no conversion, and Navypedia lists the Argentine unit as a 'former USN LCI(L)'.

The same list confirms the sister mappings that resolve NavSource's internal inconsistencies: BDI4/Q-57 = ex-LCI(L)606, BDI6/Q-59 = ex-LCI(L)746, BDI7/Q-60 = ex-LCI(L)748, BDI12/Q-65 = ex-LCI(L)753.

Pettit - the crew member who compiled the NavSource-hosted deck-log summary - falsified his age to enlist at 13 (born 31 December 1928, Houston, Texas; Navy ID read 1924), served on the fleet oiler USS Tallulah (AO-50) and then aboard LCI(L) 750 through the end of the war, rising to electrician's mate first class, and was dismissed at age 16 after his true age was learned (an honorable discharge and benefits later followed via Congressman Albert Thomas). The article says the ship 'did see combat' and 'had earned two battle stars' by war's end.

- Finding
- LCI(L)s were diesel-powered landing craft of a utilitarian wartime Bureau of Ships design (designed May 1942; over 900 built by ten yards; ~158 ft, twin-screw). This hull is an LCI(L)-351-class craft whose propulsion was two sets of four General Motors diesel engines, four per shaft (NavSource specification block, 2,320 shp) - an all-diesel plant with no boilers or steam system, so the asbestos-relevant applications aboard are the era-standard diesel-craft items: engine exhaust and muffler lagging, thermal/acoustic insulation in the engine room and accommodations, gaskets, valve packing, and electrical insulation.

No individual DANFS entry exists for this numbered landing craft (all candidate URLs 404 while sisters -759 and -777 resolve). The contemporaneous NHHC Pacific Fleet organization document (1 May 1945) does not enumerate Seventh Fleet LCI units and contains no listing for this hull.

CourtListener opinion searches for 'LCI(L)-750', 'LCI-750', 'LCI(G)-750', and 'LCI(L) 750' each verified count 0 - no published opinion names any designation of this hull; the asbestos-paired opinion query and the RECAP docket-index query remained blocked by fleet pacing and are logged as blocked, not verified-nil. A live-web sweep for asbestos/mesothelioma claims naming this hull returned only name collisions (an 'LCI-750' drilling-rig spec sheet; unrelated text) and zero qualifying results.

- Limitations
- Absence of a located public record does not prove absence of asbestos aboard - as a 1944 combat-built Navy craft the hull sits inside the documented Navy asbestos era. Does not establish that asbestos is or is not present, and does not establish or defeat any claim of exposure or legal eligibility. CourtListener opinion coverage is verified-nil for all four hull-designation variants; only the asbestos-paired opinion query and the RECAP docket-index query went unexecuted due to shared-quota pacing (logged as blocked, not verified-nil), so pleading-stage cases are not ruled out. The vessel was transferred to Argentina in 1948 and disposed of by the Argentine Navy, so no modern U.S. survey can be expected.
