[2]National Archives, Navy Deck Logs Available in the National Archives Catalog, USS LSM-268 entry [other_primary]
- Locator
- Alphabetical entry “LSM-268”
- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- The National Archives deck-log index lists USS LSM-268 as commissioned August 1944 and decommissioned July 1946; recommissioned July 1950 and decommissioned February 1955. The index gives months, not exact days, and displays no log-year or month links beneath this vessel's entry.

- Limitations
- This is an index summary, not a ship's log or complete service history. Exact days, construction dates, builder, assignments, complement, propulsion, and subsequent disposition are not established by this entry. The absence of listed log links on this page is not evidence that no logs exist elsewhere.

[4]U.S. General Accounting Office, Navy Efforts To Protect Workers From Asbestos Exposure, HRD-80-2 (Oct. 18, 1979), product-page highlights [gao]
- Locator
- Highlights section
- Finding type
- gov_survey
- Finding
- GAO reports that it reviewed Navy ship asbestos use and removal policies, including the Navy's 1975 policy of replacing insulation that was damaged or had to be removed for necessary repairs and its 1979 modification to selectively replace insulation in high-maintenance areas. This is Navy-wide policy context only.

- Population
- Navy shipyard workers and Navy ships, program-wide
- Limitations
- The GAO page does not identify USS LSM-268, LSM ships, or this hull's materials, repairs, or asbestos status. It does not establish that asbestos was aboard this ship or that any person was exposed. The linked full report PDF returned HTTP 403 to direct automated retrieval; this row relies only on the live GAO product-page highlights.

- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- The National Archives identifies Bureau of Ships Record Group 19 correspondence and ship engineering drawings, including S39 insulation and lagging drawings, as potential records for ship-specific asbestos research. The guide also explains that Navy deck logs do not directly identify asbestos materials.

- Finding type
