- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- NavSource's hull page identifies USS LCI(L)-84 as an LCI-1-class Landing Craft Infantry (Large), laid down 12 October 1942 and launched 13 December 1942 at Consolidated Steel Corp., Orange, Texas; commissioned 23 January 1943 with LTjg. Everett Mains, USCGR, in command; decommissioned 13 April 1946 at Orange; and transferred to the Maritime Commission for disposal on 31 July 1947. The page states that the vessel was manned by the U.S. Coast Guard. It also supplies LCI-1-class diesel propulsion and complement specifications and records six World War II battle stars.

- USS LCI(L)-84 crew; LCI-1-class specification group
- Limitations
- NavSource is a live volunteer archive and its history block attributes the narrative to USS LCI 'Landing Craft Infantry,' Vol. II (1995); it is not a Navy registry. The page establishes no asbestos content, quantity, condition, exposure, causation, or legal eligibility. Complement and machinery figures are in a class specification block, not a separately reviewed hull personnel or machinery record.

[3]U.S. Bureau of Ships, An Administrative History of the Bureau of Ships During World War II, vol. IV, ch. XX, 'Asbestos-Glass Insulation Lagging Cloth' (historical text transcription) [other_primary]
- Locator
- Volume IV, chapter XX, 'Asbestos-Glass Insulation Lagging Cloth' section
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- The Bureau of Ships' World War II administrative history describes an asbestos-glass insulation lagging cloth program: a shortage of asbestos fiber and cloth-weaving capacity led to glass-asbestos yarn, made by twisting asbestos yarn around glass yarn, for cloth using about half as much asbestos as standard asbestos cloth.

- Limitations
- This is wartime Navy-program material history, not a procurement, installation, repair, survey, or abatement record for USS LCI(L)-84. It does not establish asbestos aboard this hull, a specific location or product aboard, quantity, condition, exposure, causation, or legal eligibility.

- PDF text search for LCI(L)-84 and LCI 84 returned no entry
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- NARA's Special List 44, a ship-number list for digitized Navy logbooks, was checked for LCI(L)-84; no LCI(L)-84 entry was located. NARA's broader logbook series remains a potential archival route for this hull's records.

[6]Authenticated CourtListener API v4 helper attempts for exact name and hull designation; no anonymous, raw, or v3 request used [court_record]

- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- The required authenticated CourtListener helper was invoked for the exact name USS LCI(L)-84 and exact hull designation LCI(L)-84, with opinion and docket searches queued. The first request did not return a searchable payload before the execution window ended; litigation classification remains incomplete.

- Limitations
- This is an access/pacing gap, not a no-result, other-litigation, name-collision, or qualifying-asbestos classification. It establishes no exposure, asbestos presence, product identity, causation, disposition, or legal eligibility; an authenticated sweep must be completed when fleet pacing permits.
