    Limitations
    This is a record-group guide, not a retrieved LSM-320 file. It supports an archival research path only and does not establish construction facts, asbestos content, quantity, location, exposure, or causation aboard this hull.

    Limitations
    This bounded search finding does not prove that asbestos was absent or that no record exists. Official DANFS access was unavailable, Firecrawl was quota-blocked, and no box-level NARA research was performed; this row establishes neither exposure nor the absence of exposure.
