- Limitations
- Class-level reference context, not a construction or material record for LSM-327. It does not mention asbestos and cannot establish that any asbestos-containing product was installed aboard this hull.

- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- The National Archives online Navy deck-log guide identifies digitized deck-log coverage and directs researchers to the catalog; no LSM-327 deck log or asbestos/material record was retrieved from the public page during this batch.

- Limitations
- This is a records-navigation lead, not a hull finding. Absence from the reviewed online guide does not establish that no LSM-327 logs or engineering records exist in non-digitized holdings.

- Locator
- search_ledger rows sl-uss-lsm-327-lsm327-01 through -08
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No qualifying ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazmat disclosure, material list, or confirmed asbestos litigation finding naming USS LSM-327 was located in the public sources reviewed. This is a search result, not proof that asbestos was absent from the vessel.

- Limitations
- Firecrawl hosted MCP was quota-exhausted with a multi-hour stand-down, and the authenticated CourtListener helper was paced/timed out after the exact-name request; the exact hull-number litigation request could not be completed without risking the fleet limiter. The negative finding therefore has an explicit access limitation and does not establish absence of asbestos, exposure, or legal eligibility.
