- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- The National Park Service Charlestown Navy Yard Historic Resource Study identifies LST-1030 as a tank landing ship built at the yard, with keel laid 27 May 1944, launched 25 June 1944, commissioned 19 July 1944, and transferred to China in 1948.

- Population
- Boston Navy Yard construction personnel; U.S. Navy crew
- Limitations
- The NPS study establishes construction and transfer history but does not document asbestos content, individual exposure, quantities, or present-day condition. The live PDF was retrieved through the NPS-history mirror; the older NPS URL redirects to the Park History landing page.

- Limitations
- This is a finding aid showing the existence and date span of Navy logbook holdings, not the logbook content. It does not establish voyages, crew exposure, asbestos, or any material aboard the ship.

[4]NPS Charlestown Navy Yard Historic Resource Study, Part III, cross-checked against the U.S. Navy logbook finding aid and the batch's identity research [other_primary]
- Locator
- Part III foreign naval names table; U.S. disposition dates retained as a separately researched registry finding
- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- A Navy-history registry compilation records LST-1030 as decommissioned 29 May 1946, transferred to the Republic of China in 1948, and struck from the U.S. Naval Register 12 March 1948; the NPS study independently confirms the 1948 China transfer.

- U.S. Navy and Republic of China naval personnel
- Limitations
- The NPS table confirms transfer in 1948 but does not print the decommissioning or striking dates. Those dates are retained with partial verification pending a live DANFS/NVR or equivalent official ship-history page. No later Chinese-service history is asserted here.

[5]LST-1-class profile, using Bureau of Ships Ships' Data 1945 Vol. 2 design background; class context only [other_primary]
- Locator
- class profile LST-542 group entry and class notes; no hull-specific row adopted
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- Class/era background for the LST-542 group identifies a diesel plant using two General Motors 12-567A engines, two shafts, and no boilers. For a 1944 diesel LST, the asbestos-relevant pathways are limited to plausible engine or exhaust insulation, gaskets and packing, deck coverings, accommodation or bulkhead insulation, electrical insulation, and brake linings; none is documented aboard LST-1030.

- Study period
- 1944-present
- Population
- 1944 construction trades; Navy crew; later Chinese naval personnel
- Limitations
- Class/era inference only and deliberately not a ship-specific finding. The underlying Ships' Data scan URL was not live during this session, so the class profile is used only as background; it does not establish material composition, quantity, remaining material, individual exposure, or legal eligibility for LST-1030.

- Locator
- search_ledger rows sl-uss-lst-1030-lst1030-01 through -07
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazmat disclosure, or material schedule was located in the retrieved NPS study, NARA logbook finding aid, or other authoritative records reviewed for this hull. CourtListener exact-name and hull-number litigation searches were not completed because the authenticated helper received the fleet-wide pacing stand-down before returning results.

- Limitations
- This is a bounded negative finding, not proof that asbestos was absent. CourtListener coverage is an explicit gap, and the retrieved official records are not a complete archival survey. No exposure claim, causation, quantity, present-day condition, or legal eligibility may be inferred from the absence of a located record.
