- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- The official Navy naval aviation history identifies Fabius (ARVA-5) and records commission on 7 June 1945, decommission on 4 April 1952, and striking on 1 June 1973. The cited history does not identify Fabius as ex-LST-1093; its relevance to this hull remains an archival lead pending a primary-source lineage record.

- Limitations
- The official Navy history lists Fabius / ARVA-5, not LST-1093. It does not establish that the two designations refer to this hull. Dates are not carried into this vessel’s registry fields. This source does not document asbestos, materials aboard, exposure, or final disposition.

- Finding type
- gov_survey
- Finding
- GAO’s Navy asbestos program report describes Navy-wide asbestos use aboard ships and the Navy’s asbestos control/substitution program. This provides only broad service-era context for a vessel commissioned in 1945; it does not identify LST-1093 or Fabius.

- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, or hazardous-material disclosure was located in the non-CourtListener sources searched for USS LST-1093. The CourtListener query could not be completed because the authenticated fleet pacing helper denied a pacing token; that litigation component is an access gap and is not a negative finding.

- Limitations
- A bounded public-source search did not locate these records; absence of a located record does not establish absence of asbestos aboard. CourtListener exact-name and hull-number searches were not completed and no litigation conclusion is drawn.
