- Limitations
- NavSource is an archival/photo index rather than a Navy technical record. Its general specifications are presented as class specifications and do not independently establish the installed equipment configuration aboard this individual hull. It provides no asbestos information and does not support an asbestos inference.

- Public-source searches, 2026-10-02
- Limitations
- This is a bounded search result, not proof that asbestos was absent. Several planned official-source searches were blocked by Firecrawl quota, and the CourtListener litigation sweep stopped when the shared pacing limiter denied access. No claim about individual exposure, quantity, or present condition follows.
