    Limitations
    The page is an archival naval-history reference and was live at research time; it is not a current NHHC DANFS page. It does not state a stricken date, asbestos information, or the condition/location of the hull after the 1948 sale. It does not establish individual exposure or causation.

    vessel_history
    Finding
    A Naval History and Heritage Command online-reading-room search result for the United States Pacific Fleet organization dated 1 May 1945 displayed LSM-328 in LSM Division 35, LSM Group 18, and Lt. L. F. Nord, USNR, as commanding officer; the page was not retained as a live citation because the direct URL returned HTTP 404.

    Limitations
    The search result displayed the listing, but the direct official URL returned HTTP 404 at research time, so no live URL is cited. Treat this as an archival lead requiring retrieval from NHHC or an archive, not as independently verified live evidence. It does not provide construction, crew-complement, propulsion, asbestos, exposure, or causation information.

    Finding
    No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazmat disclosure, or direct asbestos documentation was located in the accessible source set reviewed for USS LSM-328. Ship-specific asbestos exposure remains unknown.

    Limitations
    This is a bounded search result, not proof that asbestos was absent or that no undiscovered record exists. Firecrawl was quota-blocked and the CourtListener sweep was pacing-blocked; the NHHC DANFS URL tested for this hull was not accessible. No class or construction-era inference is used as ship-specific evidence.

    Finding type
    litigation_documented
    Finding
    Authenticated CourtListener exact-name and exact-hull-number docket searches were attempted through the required helper, with an exact-name opinion attempt also made, but the fleet-wide pacing limiter stood down the requests before usable results were returned. No litigation classification is asserted.

    Limitations
    The helper reported that the fleet-wide request budget was momentarily spent and instructed the session not to retry in a loop. This is an access gap, not a no-result finding; qualifying asbestos litigation, other litigation, and name collisions remain unclassified.
