Charles Andrews Lockwood (b. Midland, Va., 6 May 1890; USNA 1912; Commander Submarines Pacific Fleet Feb 1943-war's end; d. Los Gatos, Calif., 7 June 1967). Hull text: 'one of the newest and most powerful destroyer escorts, was laid down 3 November 1967 by Todd Shipyards Corp., Seattle, Wash.; launched 5 September 1968; and cosponsored by Mrs. Charles A. Lockwood, the admiral's widow, and Mrs. John Canty, his daughter. The ship is scheduled to commission in the summer of 1970.' Designed 'for optimum performance in antisubmarine duty' plus search and rescue, patrol, blockade, and surveillance.

- Contemporaneous trade-union report documents asbestos removal aboard this hull during Navy-contracted scrapping: 'Earth Tech is in a joint venture with Ship Dismantling & Repair (SDR) to scrap surplus Navy vessels. SDR received the initial contract to scrap the USS Lockwood. The new Local 6 unit at Earth Tech will remove all environmental contaminates, such as asbestos, lead, and copper, from the Lockwood before the frigate vessel is moved into dry dock, where another Local 6 unit will perform the actual scrapping (or shipbreaking) at the AMC facility in San Francisco.' Photo caption repeats: 'After Local 6 members at Earth Tech remove all environmental contaminates, the USS Lockwood is moved to a San Francisco dry dock.' Documents asbestos-containing material present aboard ex-Lockwood and removed as an environmental contaminant before shipbreaking.

- Limitations
- Confirms asbestos was among the environmental contaminants stripped from this hull during the 2000 disposal; does not quantify ACM, identify its locations or applications, date the removal precisely (article written Nov-Dec 2000 describing the underway process; NVR disposal completed 2000-08-04), or address service-era exposure of the crew. Trade-union publication, not a government survey - but the disposal-phase asbestos-removal role is corroborated by the federal ship-scrapping framework in ev-08 and the pilot-program record in ev-04.

- Disposal record for this hull: Navy awarded four IDIQ contracts 29 September 1999 under Phase One of the Ship Disposal Project pilot; a $3.7 million award to SDR (Earth Tech Inc. + Ship Dismantlement & Remediation/VSE Corp. joint venture) covered towing and scrapping of ex-USS Lockwood at the former Hunter's Point Naval Shipyard, San Francisco. Per the VSE release: 'Work is underway at the former Hunter's Point Naval Shipyard in San Francisco, California, to dismantle and dispose of the ex-USS Lockwood (FF-1064)... a project office has been established... The disposal of the ex-USS Lockwood is expected to be completed within approximately six months.' Subcontractors included Astoria Metal Corp., Energetics Inc., John J. McMullen Associates, Strategic Procurement Services. Disposal completed 2000-08-04 (NVR).

- asbestos_application
- Finding
- As built (keel 1967, delivered/commissioned 1970), Lockwood's two-Combustion-Engineering-boiler, single-Westinghouse-geared-turbine steam plant and associated steam piping would have been insulated under late-1960s Navy construction practice in which thermal insulation, lagging, gaskets, packing, deck coverings, and fireproofing were commonly asbestos-containing. The disposal-phase record (ev-03) confirms asbestos-containing material was still aboard at scrapping in 2000 and required removal as an environmental contaminant.

- Federal framework governing this hull's scrapping era: OSHA's shipbreaking NEP documents the November 1999 interagency MOA among DoD (Navy and DLA-DRMS), DOT (MARAD), EPA, and OSHA 'to use the resources of each Agency to more effectively identify and regulate environmental and hazardous working conditions associated with the shipbreaking of government-owned ships.' The companion EPA guidance 'A Guide for Ship Scrappers: Tips for Regulatory Compliance' is 'structured by specific processes (such as asbestos removal, metal cutting, and fuel and oil removal) that occur in shipbreaking operations.' Ex-Lockwood's dismantlement (work underway by Feb 2000; complete Aug 2000) proceeded under this framework, in which asbestos removal was a defined pre-shipbreaking process.
