- vessel_history
- Finding
- Official BuShips construction-table entry identifies LST-467 (ex-ATL-467) as built by Kaiser Co., Inc., Vancouver, Washington; keel laid 17 October 1942; launched 21 November 1942; and first commissioned 3 March 1943. The LST1-490 class design table gives a diesel plant with two 900-hp GM 12-567A engines, 1,700 shp, two shafts, three 100-kW diesel generators, and block accommodations of 13 officers / 106 enlisted.

- Limitations
- Primary source establishes hull identity, builder, milestone dates, and the design block. The characteristics are block-level, not a measured condition survey of this hull, and the publication contains no asbestos or insulation-material information.

- Finding
- NavSource records LST-467's commissioning under Lt. Albert Schlott, USNR; assignment to LST Flotilla Seven and LST Group Nineteen; Asiatic-Pacific campaigns from the Lae occupation through Tarakan; decommissioning 28 May 1946; striking 5 June 1946; Navy Unit Commendation; and eight battle stars. Its specifications list 13 officers / 104 enlisted, troop accommodations of 16 officers / 147 enlisted, and the two GM 12-567A diesel plant.

- Volunteer-curated hull archive, corroborated on construction dates by BuShips. The page is not a materials survey and contains no asbestos information; it supports no asbestos claim. The reported post-Navy commercial history and sinking have not been independently confirmed with a government vessel record.

[4]Bureau of Ships, Ships' Data, U.S. Naval Vessels, Vol. II (NAVSHIPS 250-011, 15 April 1945), LST1-490 diesel machinery characteristics; WWII naval-construction era context [other_primary]

- LST characteristics tables pp. 168-169
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- Era/design inference for this diesel-powered LST-1-class hull: it had no boiler or turbine steam plant. Potential asbestos-relevant applications for the type are engine-exhaust lagging and gaskets, machinery-space thermal and acoustic insulation, deck coverings and tile, bulkhead and accommodation insulation, and winch/windlass brake linings.

- Population
- Kaiser Vancouver construction workforce; engine-room crew
- Limitations
- The BuShips table establishes diesel configuration but does not identify any insulation, gasket, covering, or brake material as asbestos. No hull record names these applications aboard LST-467. This does not establish quantity, location, condition, individual exposure, causation, or present-day presence.

- Locator
- NARA Navy logbook research guidance, RG 24 discussion
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- NARA records guidance identifies RG 24 as the series for U.S. Navy ship and station logbooks. WWII deck logs are a lead for this hull's operational history; the cited NARA page does not confirm a digitized LST-467 log or asbestos-related contents.

- Limitations
- Series-level guidance only. No box, file, or digitized log for LST-467 was retrieved, so a hull-specific asbestos record cannot be inferred from this lead.

[6]Batch-6971 search ledger: authenticated CourtListener API v4 helper attempts for exact-name and hull-number opinion and docket queries [court_record]

- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No qualifying ship-specific asbestos record was located in the public sources searched: no asbestos survey, abatement record, hazmat disclosure, or qualifying vessel-naming court record was retrieved. Authenticated CourtListener v4 searches for the exact name USS LST-467 and exact hull number LST-467 were initiated through the mandated fleet-paced helper in both opinion and docket indexes, but the helper's HTTP calls did not return before the environment's 30-second command limit; this is a coverage gap, not a no-result finding.

- Limitations
- The absence of another located public record does not prove asbestos was absent. CourtListener results were not obtained, so this row expressly does not make a negative litigation-result claim and does not establish or defeat exposure, causation, legal eligibility, or asbestos presence aboard the hull.
