- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- The Navy publication identifies LCI(R) 769 as ex-LCI(L) 769, gives Commercial Iron Works at Portland, Oregon as the builder, records keel laying on 22 May 1944, launch on 18 June 1944, and first commission on 3 July 1944.

- Limitations
- The source is a contemporary Navy publication accessed through a third-party scan; the PDF was live in search results but the page fetch exceeded the browser's content-size limit. The source supports construction and first-commission dates only; it does not establish asbestos content, later service, or final disposition.

[3]U.S. Coast Guard Historian's Office, USS LCI(L)-323 history (May 2, 2019) [other_primary]
- Locator
- History paragraph, sentence beginning 'The next day she departed for Kerama Rhetto'
- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- The Coast Guard history states that USS LCI(L)-323 went to Kerama Retto on 29 May 1945 to relieve LCI(R)-769 at the Harbor Entrance Control Post, North Net Entrance. This supports LCI(R)-769's presence at that duty station immediately before the relief; it provides no further LCI(R)-769 service details.

- Limitations
- This is an official Coast Guard history of LCI(L)-323, used only for its direct statement about LCI(R)-769. It does not provide a complete ship history, dates of LCI(R)-769's own service, or asbestos information.

[4]NavSource, Landing Craft Infantry index (live index page) [other_primary]
- Locator
- LCI(L)-769 index entry
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- The live NavSource index groups LCI(L)-769 with LCI(R)-769, supporting consolidation of the rocket designation under the canonical LCI(L)-769 vessel record. The separate NavSource detail link returned HTTP 406 during access, so no claims from that detail page are used.

- Limitations
- NavSource is an archival lead, not the basis for asbestos findings. The index establishes the paired designations only; its linked detail page could not be retrieved from this environment.

- Search ledger entries sl-uss-lci-l-769-lcil769-01 through -05
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No qualifying ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, Navy hazmat disclosure, or asbestos-specific court record was located in the sources and searches completed for this record. Ship-specific asbestos documentation remains unknown.

- Limitations
- This is a bounded negative finding, not proof that no asbestos was aboard. Firecrawl web search was unavailable because its free MCP quota was exhausted. The authenticated CourtListener helper returned a fleet-wide pacing stand-down after the exact-name query, so the hull-number query and further litigation searches were not completed. No conclusion of no litigation is made.
