- Limitations
- NavSource is a compiled naval-history archive and credits the history to the 1995 USS LCI volume; it is not a contemporaneous deck log. It contains no asbestos information and does not establish the material content or condition of this hull.

- Finding
- NARA's logbook inventory lists LCI(L)(G)-801 with deck-log coverage from 30 August 1944 through 30 June 1945, matching the commissioning date and covering the documented Okinawa campaign period.

- Limitations
- This is an inventory entry, not the contents of the deck logs. The logs were not opened for this record and the index does not document asbestos, materials, exposure, or the later postwar service.

- GAO HRD-80-2 product page
- Finding type
- gov_survey
- Finding
- GAO's Navy asbestos-protection review is relevant era context for a craft built and operated in the 1940s: the Navy program reviewed asbestos use and worker protection in Navy shipyards and aboard ships.

- Limitations
- Program-level evidence, not a survey or work package for LCI(L)-801 or New Jersey Shipbuilding Corp. The full GAO text was not retrievable in this session because the page's automated full-text access was blocked; no ship-specific asbestos conclusion is drawn from it.

[5]NavSource Online, LCI-351-class specifications for USS LCI(M)-801 [other_primary]
- Locator
- Specifications block, lines 94-98
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- The source identifies this hull as an LCI-351-class, all-diesel landing craft with two sets of General Motors diesel engines, reduction gears, diesel-driven generators, and twin variable-pitch propellers. The source does not identify asbestos materials aboard this hull; any asbestos relevance for exhaust lagging, machinery insulation, gaskets, packing, or electrical insulation is class/era inference only.

- Limitations
- The propulsion description is ship-specific, but the asbestos applications are not. No boiler or steam plant is documented for this hull, and no quantity, product, installation record, present-day condition, or individual exposure is established.

[6]Batch 5534 source sweep and authenticated CourtListener helper attempt [other_primary]
- Locator
- search_ledger rows sl-uss-lci-l-801-lcil801-01 through -08
- 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 completed for this batch. CourtListener exact-name and exact-hull searches were initiated through the authenticated helper but the fleet-wide pacing budget entered stand-down before a result was returned; this is an access gap, not a no-result finding.

- Limitations
- The negative finding is limited to the completed public-source sweep. Because CourtListener could not complete the exact-name and exact-hull searches, it does not exclude an indexed opinion or docket. It also cannot reach unindexed state complaints or records that do not name the hull. No conclusion about asbestos presence, exposure, causation, or legal eligibility follows.
