- historical_record

- Archived general reference description only; it supplies no ship-specific service or asbestos information. The current canonical NHHC page returned HTTP 404 on 2026-10-02, so this citation is explicitly to an archived copy.

[2]National Archives, Navy Deck Logs Available in the National Archives Catalog [other_primary]
- Locator
- Page introduction and alphabetic ship listing; no LSM-494 entry located
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- The National Archives page lists digitized Navy deck-log sets and instructions for requesting logs not shown on the page. USS LSM-494 was not located in the accessible listing during this review; the page states that unlisted logs may be requested from Archives II.

- Research conducted 2026-10-02
- Limitations
- This is a limited finding about the NARA page's currently listed digitized logs, not a finding that the ship's deck logs do not exist. It does not establish the ship's asbestos condition, service history, or absence of relevant records. A direct NARA catalog search and reference request remain open.

- Locator
- search_ledger entries sl-uss-lsm-494-06 and sl-uss-lsm-494-07
- Finding type
- historical_record

Authenticated CourtListener exact-name and hull-number opinion queries were submitted through the required helper, but the fleet-wide limiter declined both requests before API results were returned. Docket search and a complete litigation sweep remain unperformed.
