[4]U.S. General Accounting Office, Navy Efforts To Protect Workers From Asbestos Exposure, HRD-80-2 (Oct. 18, 1979) [gao]
- Locator
- GAO product page, Highlights; official report PDF https://www.gao.gov/assets/hrd-80-2.pdf
- Finding type
- gov_survey
- Finding
- GAO's 1979 Navy-wide survey reported that it reviewed Navy asbestos-protection efforts, including the use of asbestos in Navy ships, and described Navy policies for removing and replacing damaged insulation. This is era-level Navy context for a WWII Navy vessel only.

- Population
- Navy shipyard workers and Navy vessels reviewed by GAO
- Limitations
- The GAO source is Navy-wide and postdates this hull's 1946 decommissioning; it does not name LST-466, its class, its builder, or any material aboard it. Direct retrieval of the GAO product page and PDF returned HTTP 403 in this environment; the official indexed product-page text was verified through the Studio-side research fallback. It supports no hull-specific asbestos finding, quantity, exposure, causation, or legal eligibility.

- Beginning Research; Record Group 19 engineering drawings; muster-roll guidance
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- NARA's Navy asbestos research guide identifies Navy ship engineering drawings in Record Group 19 as a principal research path for determining whether a particular U.S. naval vessel had asbestos material aboard, and identifies muster rolls as potentially useful for placing personnel aboard during overhaul, reconfiguration, cleaning, repainting, or abatement.

- Limitations
- This is a research guide, not a retrieval of an LST-466 drawing, logbook, or muster roll. It identifies an archival path only and establishes no asbestos, product, exposure, causation, or legal-eligibility fact for this hull.

[6]Batch-6970 search ledger for USS LST-466 (archived DANFS; NARA Special List 44; NARA Navy-asbestos research guide) [other_primary]
- Locator
- search_ledger rows sl-uss-lst-466-lst466-01 through sl-uss-lst-466-lst466-05
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos product, survey, abatement record, or material inventory for LST-466 was located in the authoritative public sources reviewed: the archived DANFS entry documents history only, NARA Special List 44 documents logbook coverage only, and NARA's asbestos guide identifies research paths rather than hull findings.

- Limitations
- This is a bounded search result, not proof that asbestos was absent aboard LST-466. CourtListener's required authenticated exact-name and hull-number sweep was initiated through the prescribed helper but did not return before the environment's execution limit; it remains an explicit litigation-research gap and is not represented as a no-result.
