- Limitations
- The page presents the specifications as an LCI-351-class specification block rather than a hull-specific engineering survey. The diesel description does not establish asbestos presence, quantity, condition, or exposure.

[5]Negative finding from review of the live NavSource hull record, National Archives logbook index, and official-source searches conducted for this batch [other_primary]

- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazardous-material disclosure, materials inventory, or other direct asbestos documentation for USS LCI(L)-984 was located in the authoritative sources reviewed. Ship-specific asbestos documentation is therefore unknown, not established absent.

- Study period

- Population
- All ship personnel and later maintenance/disposal workers; documentation search population
- Limitations
- This is a documentation negative, not proof that asbestos was absent. Firecrawl access was unavailable because its MCP reported a multi-hour quota stand-down; official-source fallback research was used. Individual exposure, causation, and legal eligibility remain unaddressed.
