- Limitations
- Facts are limited to NHHC DANFS search-index text. Firecrawl service was quota-exhausted, direct retrieval of the official page failed (NHHC 502 through web fetch; local TLS verification failure), and the live page could not be independently read at research time. No crew complement, propulsion details, post-transfer history, or asbestos condition is established by the retrieved text.

- Finding type

- No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazmat disclosure, product identification, or government finding naming USS LST-585 (LST-585) was located in the accessible sources reviewed. Ship-specific asbestos documentation is unknown.

- Limitations
- A bounded search with significant access gaps is not proof that no record exists. Class, construction era, and general Navy asbestos use were not treated as evidence aboard this hull. CourtListener results remain unsearched because its fleet-wide pacing limiter denied requests; Firecrawl was quota-exhausted.

- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- CourtListener litigation search not completed: authenticated opinion and docket searches for exact name, and a docket search for hull number, were attempted through the required helper, but the fleet-wide pacing limiter denied requests before any result was returned. Hull-number opinion search remains outstanding; no hit classification is possible.
