   Finding type

   asbestos_application

   Finding

   No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, material inventory, or primary-source statement identifying asbestos aboard USS LCS(L)(3)-71 was located in the accessible source review for this batch; ship-specific asbestos documentation remains unknown.

   Limitations

   This is a bounded search result, not proof that asbestos was absent. Firecrawl search was unavailable because its shared keyless quota was exhausted; the literature and archive search was therefore incomplete. No asbestos exposure is inferred from construction era, class, or propulsion.
