[1]NavSource Online: Amphibious Photo Archive, USS LST-1060 page (live on the corrected navsource.net domain). The page identifies the entry as LST-542 class and links its history to DANFS; the NHHC destination currently returns 404. [other_primary]

- Finding
- The LST-1060 page identifies this hull as an LST-542-class tank landing ship. It reports that the hull was laid down 22 December 1944 at Bethlehem-Hingham Shipyard, Hingham, Massachusetts; launched 29 January 1945; and commissioned 24 February 1945. It reports service in the Asiatic-Pacific Theater, then occupation and China service in the Far East from 29 December 1945 through 20 July 1946; decommissioning on 7 September 1946; striking from the Naval Register on 23 April 1947; and sale to Bosey, Philippines, on 13 February 1948, with later fate unknown. The page gives two General Motors 12-567A diesel engines, two propellers, and 1,700 shaft horsepower. It does not document asbestos aboard this hull.

- Limitations
- NavSource is a naval-history photo archive, not the live NHHC DANFS page. The NHHC DANFS URL linked from NavSource returned 404; Firecrawl search was unavailable because its keyless quota was exhausted, and the Wayback fallback timed out. No asbestos composition, quantity, condition, abatement, individual exposure, or legal eligibility is established by this page.

[2]National Archives, Special List No. 44, By Ship Numbers, Navy deck-log listing (live PDF). [other_primary]

- PDF page with the LST-series log listing; printed text entry 'LST-1060 2/24/1945 12/31/1945' (duplicated in the PDF)
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- The National Archives' ship-number listing shows LST-1060 with a log coverage entry beginning 24 February 1945 and ending 31 December 1945. The start date independently agrees with the reported commissioning date. The listing documents log availability, not the details of the ship's movements or asbestos materials.

- Product page highlights; report HRD-80-2, opening summary
- Finding type
- gov_survey
- Finding
- GAO reported that the Navy said all ships contained some asbestos in components such as clutches and electric cables, and that thermal insulation was the Navy's major asbestos use aboard ships. This is Navy-wide context only; it does not identify LST-1060, LST-542-class vessels, or any material installed on this hull.

- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazardous-material disclosure, or other direct asbestos record for USS LST-1060 was located in the accessible records reviewed. Its ship-specific asbestos status remains unknown. The CourtListener check could not be completed, so no negative litigation result is asserted.

- Limitations
- A bounded search result, not proof that no such record exists. The exact-name and hull-number CourtListener opinion searches were denied by the fleet pacing limiter before search results were returned; docket searches were not made. Firecrawl search was unavailable for approximately 7.5 hours due to the keyless quota limit. The live NHHC DANFS page returned 404; the Wayback fallback timed out. No claim about absence of exposure is made.
