- Finding
- The National WWII Museum's oral-history annotation states that Claude Taylor was assigned to LSM-352 at Guam as a third-class electrician, describes the engine room as noisy, and states that after the war he sailed aboard LSM-352 to Okinawa with African-American engineers and their equipment before proceeding to Yokohama. The annotation does not identify asbestos or asbestos-containing materials.
