[5]GAO HRD-80-2, Navy Efforts To Protect Workers From Asbestos Exposure, enclosure I, Navy letter of 5 January 1979 [gao]
- Locator
- PDF page 10, enclosure I, Navy letter
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- A 1979 Navy letter reproduced in GAO report HRD-80-2 states that asbestos was used in Navy shipboard piping-system gaskets and packing, on Navy ship decks, and in electrical cabling. This is broad Navy context only and does not identify USS LCI(L)-765 / LCI(R)-765 or the LCI-351 class.

- Limitations
- The letter describes Navy ships generally in 1979, after this vessel's 1946 decommissioning. It supports research prioritization only; none of the listed materials is established aboard this hull, and it establishes no personal exposure, quantity, or legal eligibility.

[6]Batch 5494 research ledger and source review [other_primary]
- Locator
- Search ledger entries sl-01 through sl-08
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos survey, material list, abatement record, product identification, or reviewed Bureau of Ships construction or modification record was located in the Navy Ships' Data table, NARA log index and asbestos guide, NavSource, GAO, or public web sources reviewed for this batch. The hull's asbestos status remains unknown. CourtListener cannot be included in this negative finding because the required authenticated helper was blocked by a short-term shared pacing gate before it returned a result.

- This is a bounded negative search result, not proof that the vessel lacked asbestos. Undigitized deck logs, RG 19 correspondence, specifications, drawings, disposal records, or unsearched litigation may change the assessment.

- Bureau of Ships correspondence guidance and Ship Engineering Drawings section, S39/S48 discussion
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- NARA's guide for researching asbestos aboard U.S. naval vessels built through 1961 directs researchers to Bureau of Ships RG 19 correspondence by hull and shipyard, specifications, and hull-number engineering drawings; it identifies S39 as the insulation and lagging drawing code and S48 as piping. These are leads for LCI(L)-765 / LCI(R)-765, not reviewed vessel records.
