  1. [1]National Archives, Ship Plan Index [other_primary]

    NARA Ship Plan Index; live page text searched for ‘LSM-212’ and ‘LSM 212’
    Finding type
    historical_record
    Finding
    The NARA Ship Plan Index page was retrieved live and searched for the exact designation LSM-212 and the spaced form LSM 212; neither string appeared. No hull-specific ship-plan index entry was located in this search.

    Limitations
    A missing entry in this index does not show that plans or other records do not exist elsewhere in NARA or other repositories. The index is not an exhaustive catalog of all records concerning the vessel and establishes no ship history or asbestos fact.

    Finding type

    The NARA Navy deck-log index page was retrieved live and searched for LSM-212 and LSM 212; no hull-specific listing was located.

    Limitations
    The index page is not a complete inventory of all Navy records. Failure to locate a deck-log listing here does not establish that no deck logs, war diaries, or other operational records survive. This result does not establish any asbestos fact.

  3. [3]Batch-6010 search ledger; repository searches and source-access attempts recorded for this vessel [other_primary]
    Locator
    BATCH-6010-REPORT.md, research decisions and search ledger
    Finding type
    historical_record
    Finding
    Four authenticated CourtListener API v4 exact-term searches returned no results: the exact vessel name with asbestos in opinion and docket search, and the exact quoted hull number in opinion and docket search. A separate broad, unquoted hull-number docket query returned many incidental keyword matches; it is not treated as a clean no-result search and the broad result set was not manually adjudicated exhaustively. No qualifying asbestos case naming this vessel was located in the exact-term searches.

    Limitations
    The broad unquoted docket query returned 1,396 matches and was noisy; only returned examples were checked for collision character, not every result. Exact-name and exact-quoted-hull queries returned no results, but this cannot rule out unindexed or differently described cases. No finding about asbestos presence, exposure, or legal eligibility follows. Firecrawl was quota-blocked and direct NHHC retrieval failed TLS verification, limiting non-litigation research.
