Harold G. Murphy USNR in command. Wartime assignment per page: LCI Flotilla Five flagship (CAPT. T. W. Rimer USNR), LCI Group Forty-One (LCDR. R. F. Hunnicutt USNR), LCI Division Eighty-Two. Reclassified LCI(G)-807 (gunboat) 31 December 1944; arrived Kossol Roads, Palau, 15 February 1945; departed Kossol Roads 1 March 1945 (the page's next line gives arrival at San Pedro Bay, Leyte, 4 April 1945 - see gaps on chronology compression). Reclassified LCI(M)-807 (mortar) 30 April 1945. Credited campaigns (two battle stars): Okinawa Gunto operation - assault and occupation, 26 March-30 June 1945 (as LCI(G)-807 and LCI(M)-807), including Kerama Retto assault and UDT support 26 March, Okinawa main-landings support 1 April (mortar 'hang fire' explosion aboard: 4 killed outright, 14 wounded including Madsen who died later), Ie Shima assault 16 April, one Betty bomber credited shot down 21 April at Nagawan, Naha harassing fire 14 May, Iheya Shima assault 3 June, southern Okinawa bombardment 14-18 June; and Minesweeping operations-Pacific (Skagway, East China Sea-Ryukyus area) 27 October-3 November 1945.

   NavSource is a compiled secondary reference (transcribing Turner Publishing's USS LCI volume and Navy records), not a contemporaneous log or action report. Its unit listing (Flotilla 5 flagship / Group 41 / Division 82) reflects an earlier assignment period and differs from the contemporaneous NHHC fleet-organization document of 1 May 1945, which places this hull in LCI Flotilla 19 / Group 55 / Division 110 (M) - NHHC version carried for that date, variance flagged in gaps. Its 'departed Kossol 1 Mar / arrived San Pedro Bay 4 Apr' lines compress the entire Okinawa assault phase between the two dates. Contains no asbestos information whatsoever.

The DANFS text uses the LCI(M) designation for 1 April 1945, consistent with the ship's own 7 April 1945 letterhead, three weeks ahead of the recorded 30 April reclassification date.

    LCI(L)s were diesel-powered landing craft of a utilitarian wartime Bureau of Ships design (designed May 1942; over 900 built by ten yards; ~158 ft, twin-screw). This hull is an LCI(L)-351-class craft whose propulsion was two sets of four General Motors 6051-series-71 diesel engines, four per shaft, with GM main reduction gears and two diesel-drive 30kW 120V DC generators (NavSource specification block, 2,320 shp) - an all-diesel plant with no boilers or steam system, so the asbestos-relevant applications aboard are the era-standard diesel-craft items: engine exhaust and muffler lagging, thermal/acoustic insulation in the engine room and accommodations, gaskets, valve packing, and electrical insulation.

    Finding

    No qualifying ship-specific asbestos record located: no asbestos survey, abatement contract, hazmat disclosure, museum record, or docketed asbestos case naming LCI-807 / LCI(L)-807 / LCI(G)-807 / LCI(M)-807 was found in the sources searched (see search_ledger). CourtListener opinion search for 'LCI-807' returned count 0 (verified); the designation-variant opinion queries and the RECAP docket-index query were attempted repeatedly but the fleet-wide authenticated budget was spent on each try - logged as blocked in the ledger, not treated as negative results. A live-web sweep for asbestos/mesothelioma claims naming this hull returned no results. No individual DANFS entry exists for this numbered landing craft.

    Limitations

    Absence of a located public record does not prove absence of asbestos aboard - as a 1944 combat-built Navy craft the hull sits inside the documented Navy asbestos era. Does not establish that asbestos is or is not present, and does not establish or defeat any claim of exposure or legal eligibility. Opinion coverage is verified-nil for 'LCI-807' only; the designation variants and docket-index query went unexecuted due to shared-quota pacing, so pleading-stage cases or name collisions under the parenthetical spellings are not ruled out. The vessel was transferred to the Maritime Commission in 1947 with fate unknown, so no modern survey can exist unless the hull is identified.
