- Limitations
- Official Coast Guard history and specification record, not an asbestos survey, material list, abatement record, or exposure record. The live page was verified through Studio-side search; direct worktree retrieval returned HTTP 403. It establishes a documented U.S. Navy commission notwithstanding Coast Guard manning, but does not establish asbestos aboard, individual exposure, causation, or legal eligibility.

- Limitations
- NavSource is a secondary compilation; the exact navsource.net page returned HTTP 200 when checked live. Its 23 January commissioning date conflicts with the Coast Guard Historian's Office's 29 January date; neither date is selected as resolved here. This source does not identify asbestos-containing material, a survey, abatement, or exposure.

- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- OSHA's shipyard asbestos rulemaking states that asbestos products were used extensively on American ships from the early 1940s through the late 1970s, including joiner bulkhead systems, insulation for steam and hot-water pipes, boilers, and tanks, ceiling tile, and fire-resistant bulkhead sheets.

- American shipbuilding and ship-repair workers
- Limitations
- General American-ship and era evidence only. It neither names LCI(L)-86 nor supplies an LCI-1 material specification; several listed applications concern steam systems whereas this hull is documented as diesel-powered. It cannot establish asbestos aboard this hull, any product, quantity, condition, exposure, causation, or legal eligibility.
