[3]NavSource Online, Tank Landing Ship (LST) class index and LST-1-class description. [other_primary]
- Locator
- LST-1 class identification and Type II LST design description
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- WWII Type II LST class documentation identifies LST-11 as an LST-1-class vessel; the class's machinery, fuel systems, cargo/tank decks, and accommodation spaces are consistent with period shipboard uses for insulation, packing, gaskets, and electrical insulation. This is class/era context only and does not document asbestos aboard LST-11.

- WWII landing-ship construction trades and crews; class context
- Limitations
- Class/design context is not a hull survey and does not state that asbestos was installed aboard LST-11. It does not establish quantity, location, condition, present-day presence, individual exposure, or causation.

[4]Authenticated CourtListener helper: required searches queued for 'USS LST-11' and 'LST-11', opinion and docket; fleet pacing limiter reported its request budget momentarily spent and instructed stand-down. [court_record]
- Locator
- cl-auth-search.py stderr: fleet-wide pacing budget momentarily spent; no HTTP request completed
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No CourtListener result was obtained for the required exact-name and hull-number searches because the authenticated helper stopped at the fleet-wide pacing gate before making the first request. This is an access gap, not a no-result finding.

- This row is expressly not a litigation negative. Exact-name and hull-number litigation classification remains incomplete because the helper did not permit a request; no anonymous or v3 fallback was used.
