- The live NHHC DANFS URL tested for this entry returned HTTP 404. This is a transcription identified as DANFS/Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, not the live official NHHC page. The entry gives no launch date, exact laid-down date, complement, propulsion particulars, stricken date, scrapping date, or asbestos information. The word 'Laid down' is followed by builder and place but no date.

- abatement_record
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazmat disclosure, or other direct asbestos record was located in the NHHC/DANFS, NARA, NPS, Naval Vessel Register, or official museum searches conducted for this record.

- Limitations
- A search not locating a record does not prove that no asbestos was present or that no record exists. Firecrawl was unavailable because its keyless service returned a quota-exhaustion response with a 21-hour retry estimate. The NHHC DANFS URL returned 404. This negative is restricted to the searches and accessible sources listed in the report.

- Limitations
- Zero search results do not prove the absence of litigation; exact phrase searches may miss differently worded records, unindexed material, or variant names. This is not a claim that no case exists, and it does not establish or disprove shipboard exposure.
