[4]Naval History and Heritage Command, United States Pacific Fleet Organization (1 May 1945) and Allied Ships Present in Tokyo Bay During the Surrender Ceremony (2 September 1945), archived Wayback Machine captures [other_primary]
- Locator
- Both archived pages reviewed; fleet organization entry for LSM 284 and Tokyo Bay Medium Landing Ship roster entry for LSM-284
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- The two archived NHHC records reviewed for USS LSM-284 (the 1 May 1945 fleet organization and the 2 September 1945 Tokyo Bay roster) contain no statement about asbestos, insulation materials, asbestos surveys, abatement, or exposure aboard this ship. This is a bounded negative finding about those records only.
