- Limitations
- NavSource is a compiled naval-history reference whose page identifies its underlying history as USS LCI 'Landing Craft Infantry,' Vol. II (Turner Publishing, 1995); it is not a contemporaneous deck log. The page does not provide a decommissioning date, striking date, service narrative, asbestos information, or final-disposition record.

- Finding
- The hull page identifies LCI(L)-800 as an LCI(L)-351-class landing craft with 158 feet 5½ inches length, 23 feet 3 inches beam, 419 tons loaded displacement, 16-knot maximum speed, five single 20-mm guns, and an all-diesel propulsion plant consisting of two sets of four General Motors 6051 Series 71 diesel engines, reduction gears, diesel-driven service generators, and twin variable-pitch propellers.

- These are specifications and do not document asbestos-containing materials, exposure, maintenance condition, or any individual crew member's exposure. The source lists class/configuration data on the hull page, not a material survey for this vessel.

[4]Naval History and Heritage Command, DANFS, LCI(L)-777, an LCI(L)-351-class sister craft [nhhc_danfs]
- Locator
- NHHC DANFS LCI(L)-777, opening specifications and construction paragraphs
- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- NHHC's DANFS entry for LCI(L)-777 identifies the LCI(L)-351 class as a 381-ton-trial, 159-foot, twin-diesel landing-craft design and documents a 40-person complement for that sister craft. This provides class and era context for LCI(L)-800, whose NavSource page supplies the hull-specific specifications; it does not establish any material aboard LCI(L)-800.

- Finding type
- gov_survey
- Finding
- GAO reviewed Navy ship asbestos use, asbestos removal costs, and related worker-protection programs at Long Beach and Norfolk Naval Shipyards. The report's highlights state that the Navy had a policy for removing or replacing damaged asbestos insulation or insulation removed during repairs, later modified to selective replacement in high-maintenance areas.

- Limitations
- This is Navy program and shipyard context, not a survey of LCI(L)-800 or of landing craft. It does not establish that asbestos was installed on this hull, the products used, quantities, condition, or any person's exposure.

[6]Batch-5533 source sweep and CourtListener search ledger [other_primary]

- See search_ledger rows sl-uss-lci-l-800-lcil800-01 through sl-uss-lci-l-800-lcil800-06
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No qualifying ship-specific asbestos litigation, asbestos survey, abatement contract, hazmat disclosure, or other ship-specific asbestos record was located in the sources searched. The exact-name and hull-number CourtListener opinion searches were attempted through the authenticated helper but returned a fleet-wide pacing stand-down before results were delivered; they are logged as blocked, not as no-result findings.

- Limitations
- A negative public-source search does not prove that asbestos was absent or that no claim exists. CourtListener coverage is incomplete because the authenticated fleet limiter blocked the requests; the blocked searches do not support a no-result conclusion. No claim is made about individual exposure, causation, or legal eligibility.
