- Finding aid heading and series description; table row for LSM-154 (box 6)
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- NARA finding aid for Record Group 181, Ship Commissioning Files (1942–1945), lists LSM-154 as a Landing Ship, Medium in box 6 and shows the date 6/22/1944. The finding aid describes this series as correspondence, invitations, and instructions relating to commissioning naval vessels at Charleston Navy Yard. The table does not explain what the date field represents; it is not treated here as a launch or commissioning date.

- Limitations
- Finding aid establishes that an LSM-154 commissioning file is indexed, but does not expose the file itself or explain the date column. The date conflicts with secondary summaries of launch and commissioning milestones and is not interpreted. No vessel service details or asbestos facts are established.

[3]CourtListener authenticated API v4 search via fleet helper; requests refused by fleet pacing limiter before API access [court_record]
- Locator
- cl-auth-search.py stderr, 2026-10-01: PACING budget momentarily spent; no API response returned
- Finding type
- litigation_documented
- Finding
- No CourtListener search result is available from this session: authenticated exact-name opinion search and hull-number docket searches were attempted through the required helper, but the fleet limiter refused the requests before they reached the API. This is a blocked search, not a no-result finding.

- Limitations
- This row records an access failure only. It establishes neither absence nor presence of asbestos litigation. Exact-name query “USS LSM-154” (opinions) and hull-number queries “LSM-154” and “USS LSM 154” (dockets) were not transmitted to CourtListener.

[4]Research log: official-source searches for USS LSM-154 / LSM-154; NARA RG 181 commissioning-file finding aid reviewed; Firecrawl search unavailable; CourtListener and asbestos-record searches blocked/incomplete [other_primary]
- Locator
- Research log dated 2026-10-01; see BATCH-5957-REPORT.md
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- No qualifying ship-specific asbestos record was located in the accessible sources reviewed during this session. No hull-specific asbestos survey, abatement document, or hazmat disclosure was found.

- Accessed
- 2026-10-01
- Limitations
- A bounded search result, not proof that records do not exist. Firecrawl MCP quota was exhausted for approximately 11 hours; CourtListener API queries were not transmitted owing to the shared fleet pacing limiter. NARA commissioning-file content has not been requested or inspected. No inference from class/era was used.

[5]National Archives at Atlanta, RG 181, Ship Commissioning Files, Sixth Naval District at Charleston, South Carolina, NAID 2694599 (finding aid reviewed; underlying commissioning file not inspected) [other_primary]
- Locator
- Finding aid page; box 6 LSM-154 row; research limitations recorded in BATCH-5957-REPORT.md
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- Beyond the NARA index entry recorded in ev-uss-lsm-154-lsm154-01, no hull-specific service chronology, propulsion specification, or disposition fact was verified in accessible authoritative records during this session.

- 2026-10-01
- Limitations
- Bounded research result only; absence of a verified fact in the sources reviewed does not establish that no record exists. Firecrawl search quota and CourtListener pacing restrictions prevented completion of the planned searches. No ship-specific asbestos or propulsion conclusion is drawn.
