- LSM-1 class design
- Limitations
- The record is for an LSM-1-class design, not USS LSM-495. It contains no asbestos, insulation, material, or work-history statement and cannot establish any hull-specific feature or exposure. NHHC page was located in live web search on 2026-10-02; direct page fetch timed out during verification.

- Records searched through 2026-10-02
- Limitations
- No primary hull file was obtained; the NHHC individual DANFS page was inaccessible/not located, NARA catalog search for hull-specific records was not completed, and CourtListener opinion and docket searches could not proceed because the fleet-wide pacing helper refused requests. The negative finding must not be interpreted as a no-asbestos determination.
