- Dravo construction workforce; U.S. Navy crew; Greek Navy personnel
- Limitations
- The page is an archival/photo reference rather than a live NHHC/DANFS record; it establishes the listed chronology but does not document asbestos, insulation composition, exposure, causation, or legal eligibility.

- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos survey, product inventory, abatement record, hazmat disclosure, or condition report was located in the accessible public sources reviewed for LSM-227. Ship-specific asbestos documentation is unknown, not established absent.

- Limitations
- A public-source negative is not proof that asbestos was absent. Non-digitized Navy, shipyard, reserve-fleet, Greek Navy, and disposal records may contain additional evidence; no quantity, location, condition, crew exposure, or causation is established.

[5]NIOSH HETA 85-021-1654, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard [other_primary]
- Locator
- Report background, pp. 4-5 of PDF
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- Class/era context only: an official NIOSH evaluation describes a Navy shipyard insulation shop that prepared and stored asbestos insulation and performed rip-outs and pipe-covering aboard Navy ships and submarines. This supports possible period application categories for research prioritization, but does not document asbestos aboard LSM-227.

- Population
- Portsmouth Naval Shipyard insulation workers and Navy ships generally
- Limitations
- Different shipyard and later period; context only. The report does not name LSM-227, identify its materials or locations, establish remaining material, or establish exposure or causation for its crew or workers.

- Search ledger rows sl-uss-lsm-227-lsm227-06 through -08
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- The required authenticated CourtListener litigation sweep could not be completed: the helper entered the exact-name opinion request and then enforced the fleet-wide pacing stand-down before returning a result. Exact-name docket and exact-hull opinion/docket requests were not made. No litigation conclusion is drawn from this incomplete sweep.

- CourtListener opinions and RECAP dockets
- Limitations
- This is an access/process gap, not a no-result finding. The fleet limiter instructed a stand-down and the search was not retried; therefore this record does not classify the ship as having no qualifying asbestos litigation.
