[4]PubMed record and abstract for Jacqueline Karnell Corn and Jennifer Starr, Historical perspective on asbestos: Policies and protective measures in World War II shipbuilding, American Journal of Industrial Medicine 11(3):359-373 (1987), PMID 3555021; DOI 10.1002/ajim.4700110311 [other_primary]

- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- Corn and Starr's peer-reviewed historical study documents extensive asbestos use as fireproofing and insulation in U.S. shipbuilding during World War II. For LSM-10, this supports only class/era context: possible applications on a diesel landing ship include machinery insulation, exhaust lagging, pipe insulation, gaskets, packing, electrical insulation, and fireproofing. The study does not name LSM-10 or establish that any listed product was installed aboard it.

[5]Batch-5897 source review: NavSource USS LSM-10 page; NARA RG 181 finding aid; NHHC DANFS and NVR availability checks; Firecrawl quota-block notice [other_primary]

- search_ledger rows sl-uss-lsm-10-lsm10-01 through -07
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos documentation was located in the searched public sources: no asbestos survey, abatement contract, hazmat disclosure, material list, or ship-specific asbestos finding was found for USS LSM-10. The available hull history and NARA finding aid contain no asbestos or insulation-material statement.

- Limitations
- Absence of a located public record does not prove absence of asbestos aboard. Firecrawl was unavailable because its hosted keyless quota required a multi-hour stand-down; official-source fallback research was used. This row does not establish or defeat exposure, causation, or legal eligibility.

[6]CourtListener API v4 helper invocation: queries 'USS LSM-10' and 'LSM-10', opinion and docket types; fleet-wide pacing stand-down, exit 2 [court_record]
- Locator

- Finding type

- Finding
- The required authenticated CourtListener v4 exact-name and hull-number searches were attempted through cl-auth-search.py, but the fleet-wide pacing limiter returned a stand-down before the first HTTP request could be made. No litigation result is asserted.

- This is an access-gap record, not a clean no-result finding. The helper reported the shared fleet request budget was momentarily spent; no anonymous request, raw request, v3 API, or retry loop was used. Qualifying asbestos litigation remains unresolved.
