- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- NHHC's indexed DANFS text identifies LST-387 as laid down on 20 June 1942 at Newport News Shipbuilding & Drydock Co.; launched on 28 September 1942; and commissioned on 17 November 1942. It states that the ship served in the European theater, was damaged by a German submarine torpedo between Algiers and Bizerte on 22 June 1943 and subsequently repaired, was decommissioned on 2 May 1946, stricken on 19 July 1946, and sold to Northern Metals Co. on 22 December 1947 for scrapping.

- Limitations
- The official DANFS page was returned in live search indexing on 2026-10-02, but full-page retrieval failed (Firecrawl keyless quota exhausted; browser fetch returned 502). This row is partial verification from the search excerpt, not a successful full-page inspection. It establishes vessel history only and says nothing about asbestos, crew complement, or individual exposure.

- Finding type

- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, or hazmat disclosure for USS LST-387 was located in the public sources searched for this record.

- Limitations
- This is a bounded search result, not proof that asbestos was absent. Firecrawl full-text research was blocked by exhausted keyless quota; direct NHHC page retrieval failed, and CourtListener searches remain pending because its authenticated helper directed a fleet pacing stand-down. No inference is made from class, construction date, or propulsion.
