- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- NARA identifies use of asbestos in U.S. Navy materiel during 1941–1961 as a research topic requiring investigation of ship histories and technical records. This establishes general Navy-era research context for Lorikeet’s service period only.

- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No qualifying ship-specific asbestos documentation was located in the reviewed official sources and indexed web searches. The authenticated CourtListener opinion query combining exact ship name and hull variants returned count 0. RECAP docket searches were blocked by fleet pacing, so docket coverage remains incomplete. Ship-specific asbestos status is unknown.
