- Limitations
- NavSource is a secondary naval-history archive. Its page attributes the hull history to USS LCI 'Landing Craft Infantry', Vol. II (Turner Publishing, 1995); that book was not independently inspected. No buyer, precise striking date, decommissioning date, or final fate is established here. This history contains no asbestos information.

- Limitations
- A public-record search that located no qualifying document does not establish that asbestos was absent or present aboard. CourtListener searches could not be completed because the authenticated helper's fleet-wide pacing limiter denied a request token; litigation status remains unsearched, not negative.
