- Full DANFS entry; see also search ledger rows 03-06 for access gaps
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- The consulted NHHC DANFS entry provides construction, conversion, repair-ship service, and reserve history but does not document asbestos aboard LST-1095/Megara. Ship-specific asbestos documentation remains unknown.

- Study period
- Research through 2026-10-02
- Limitations
- This is a bounded negative finding about the consulted DANFS entry, not proof that asbestos was absent. Firecrawl search and scrape were unavailable because the configured MCP had exhausted its keyless quota. Authenticated CourtListener exact-name opinion search returned zero results; broad hull-number opinion results were not screened fully, and docket searches remain incomplete under the fleet pacing limit.
