- vessel_history
- Finding
- NavSource documents this hull as laid down 3 February 1945 at Commercial Iron Works, Portland, Oregon; launched 24 February 1945; and commissioned USS LCS(L)(3)-106 on 9 March 1945, with Lt. H. W. Griswold, USNR, in command. It assigns the vessel to LCS(L)(3) Flotilla Five, Group Fourteen, Division Twenty-Eight in the Asiatic-Pacific Theater; gives Occupation service 19 September-4 December 1945 and China service 5 December 1945-15 April 1946; records redesignation as USS LSSL-106 on 28 February 1949; transfer to Japan as Isogiku on 30 March 1953; return to U.S. custody on 27 March 1975; and unknown dates for decommissioning, striking, and final disposition.

- Limitations
- This is a ship-history compilation and does not document asbestos, material content, individual exposure, or legal eligibility. NavSource explicitly says no history is available for the vessel; the page supplies a timeline and specifications. It records unknown dates rather than resolving them.

[2]NavSource Online: Amphibious Photo Archive, USS LSSL-106 / ex USS LCS(L)(3)-106, specifications attributed on page to Ships' Data, U.S. Naval Vessels, NavShips 250-012 (15 April 1945) [other_primary]

- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- NavSource's specifications for this LCS(L)(3)-1-class hull list two General Motors 6051-series 71 diesel engines (1,600 bhp), a single General Motors main-reduction gear, two 60-kW 450-V AC diesel-driven ship-service generators, and twin variable-pitch propellers. The page lists a complement of 6 officers and 65 enlisted personnel.

- Design complement: 6 officers and 65 enlisted personnel
- Limitations
- Specifications are ship/class-context information reproduced by NavSource and attributed there to a 1945 Navy Ships' Data source; no original NavShips sheet for this hull was retrieved. They establish diesel propulsion, not asbestos content or exposure. Complement is not independently verified against DANFS/NHHC and is flagged in gaps.

[3]CDC/NIOSH, '100 Years of Respiratory Protection History' (archived CDC page; live archive verified 2026-09-30) [other_primary]
- Locator
- CDC/NIOSH page section beginning 'As the world entered World War II'
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- CDC/NIOSH states that, during World War II, U.S. Navy use of asbestos increased for insulation purposes for pipes in naval vessels, and describes Navy recognition of respirator needs when cutting or wetting asbestos-containing insulation. This hull was built and commissioned in 1945 during that era.

- U.S. Navy vessel construction, repair, and maintenance personnel during World War II
- Limitations
- Era-wide Navy context only. The CDC/NIOSH history does not identify LCS(L)(3)-106, its builder, its machinery spaces, or any installed asbestos-containing product; it cannot support a claim that asbestos was aboard this hull. The vessel's documented diesel propulsion does not establish a pipe-insulation inventory.

[4]Batch 5655 research ledger: live NavSource page; CDC/NIOSH historical context; authenticated CourtListener helper invocation for exact hull query [other_primary]

- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No public ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, material list, or authoritative litigation record was located in the completed source checks. CourtListener is not recorded as a no-result: an authenticated exact-hull docket search through the required helper entered the fleet-wide pacing queue but did not return within this production session. Exact-name and alias queries remain open rather than being treated as negative findings.

- Limitations
- Absence of a located public record does not prove asbestos absence. This negative finding excludes CourtListener because its searches did not complete; it does not establish or defeat exposure, causation, product identity, quantity, or legal eligibility. NARA/NavSea construction and post-transfer records remain archival leads.
