[2]NavSource Online: Amphibious Photo Archive, USS LCI(R)-764 / ex-USS LCI(L)-764 (history credited on-page to USS LCI "Landing Craft Infantry", Vol. II, Turner Publishing Co., 1995) [other_primary]

- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- NavSource identifies one hull under the successive designations USS LCI(L)-764 and USS LCI(R)-764. It reports that Commercial Iron Works at Portland, Oregon laid the hull down 8 May 1944, launched it 28 May 1944, and commissioned it as USS LCI(L)-764 on 12 June 1944; it reports reclassification to Landing Craft Infantry (Rocket), LCI(R)-764, on 15 March 1945. It lists Asiatic-Pacific assignment to LCI Flotilla Sixteen, LCI Group Forty-Seven, and LCI Division Ninety-Three; Okinawa Gunto operation, 24 March-30 June 1945; Far East occupation duty, 2-25 September 1945; China service, 30 September 1945-18 February 1946; one WWII battle star; transfer to the Maritime Commission for disposal on 3 March 1947; and final disposition unknown. Its specification block describes two sets of four General Motors 6051-series-71 diesel engines, four engines per shaft, through General Motors reduction gears to twin variable-pitch propellers, with two diesel-driven 30 kW 120 V DC ship-service generators and 2,320 shp.

- Limitations
- NavSource is a live volunteer secondary compilation, not a contemporaneous Navy record; its page attributes the narrative to a 1995 USS LCI Association/Turner volume. The ship-specific timeline is retained as reported, but no Navy commissioning order, reclassification order, decommissioning date, striking date, or disposal file was located. The page contains no asbestos information and the diesel specification does not establish any asbestos-containing material aboard this hull.

- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- NARA's official logbook inventory lists deck logs for LCI(L)(R)-764 covering 12 June 1944 through 30 June 1945. The composite inventory designation corroborates that the LCI(L) and LCI(R) labels belong to the same numbered hull and identifies a primary-record path in Navy deck logs.

- This is an inventory entry, not the logs. Its coverage dates identify extant records and are not independently used to prove commissioning or end of service. The inventory does not state the contents of the logs and contains no asbestos, condition, repair, or exposure finding.

- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- The 1 May 1945 Pacific Fleet organization lists LCI 764 in LCI Division 93 (RCM) (R), under LCI Group 47 and LCI Flotilla Sixteen, with Lt. A. C. Shoemake (USNR) as commanding officer. The division header identifies the unit as a rocket-craft division on that date.

- Limitations
- The cited live transcription reproduces a contemporaneous Navy organization listing but is not the canonical host; the official NHHC page was live-checked and returned HTTP 404, so it is not cited as a live source. This point-in-time organization list establishes unit attachment and named commanding officer on 1 May 1945, not location, full service history, conversion-work details, asbestos content, or exposure.

[5]U.S. Government Accountability Office, Navy Efforts To Protect Workers From Asbestos Exposure, HRD-80-2 (Oct. 18, 1979) [gao]

- GAO HRD-80-2 product-page Highlights; full-report link (26 pages)
- Finding type
- gov_survey
- Finding
- GAO reviewed Navy asbestos-worker protection at Long Beach and Norfolk Naval Shipyards, including the use of asbestos in Navy ships and asbestos-removal costs. It describes the Navy's 1975 policy to replace asbestos insulation only when damaged or removed for needed repairs and the 1979 policy change for selected high-maintenance areas.

- Limitations
- Navy-wide, postwar program evidence only. GAO did not inspect this hull, Commercial Iron Works, LCI-351 craft, or the 1945 rocket conversion. It cannot establish asbestos presence, product, condition, quantity, removal, individual exposure, causation, or legal eligibility for LCI(L)-764 / LCI(R)-764. The GAO product page was verified through web retrieval; direct Studio-side fetch returned HTTP 403.

[6]CourtListener API v4 authenticated sweep attempt via /Users/charlesfletcher/devin-prompts/cl-auth-search.py [other_primary]
- Locator
- Helper diagnostics: 'authenticated request: type=o query_len=16' and 'authenticated request: type=o query_len=12'; no HTTP status or JSON result before headless command timeout
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No CourtListener result is asserted. An authenticated opinion search for the exact name 'USS LCI(L)-764' and a subsequent exact-alias query for 'LCI(R)-764' were initiated through the required v4 helper, but the helper remained waiting for the fleet-wide pacing token beyond the headless command window and produced no API response. The required opinion/docket sweep for exact name and hull-number variants therefore remains incomplete.

- Limitations
- This is a research-gap record, not a no-result finding. No anonymous request, raw API request, v3 API request, or bypass of the fleet limiter was used. Because the helper produced no search payload, qualifying asbestos litigation, other litigation, and name collisions were not classified and must not be inferred absent.
