- DANFS for this hull: 'LST-67 was laid down on 7 September 1942 at Jeffersonville, Ind., by the Jeffersonville Boat & Machine Co.; launched on 28 January 1943; sponsored by Mrs. William H. Lang; and commissioned on 20 April 1943. During World War II, LST-67 was assigned to the Asiatic-Pacific theater' - operations listed: Eastern New Guinea (Finschhafen occupation, September 1943; Saidor occupation, January 1944), Bismarck Archipelago (Cape Gloucester, New Britain, December 1943-January 1944; Admiralty Islands landing, March 1944), Hollandia (April-May 1944), Western New Guinea (Toem-Wakde-Sarmi, May 1944; Biak Island, May-June 1944; Noemfoor Island, July 1944; Cape Sansapor, July-August 1944; Morotai landings, September 1944), Leyte landings (October-November 1944), Borneo (Tarakan Island, April-May 1945; Balikpapan, June-July 1945), and consolidation of the southern Philippines (Visayan Islands landing, March 1945). 'LST-67 was decommissioned on 28 March 1946 and was struck from the Navy list on 8 May 1946. On 5 December 1947, she was sold to the Ships & Power Equipment Co., of Barber, N.J., for scrapping. LST-67 earned seven battle stars for World War II service.'

- Finding
- Official USCG operational history for this hull: at Tarakan, 'May 1st found the Coast Guard manned LST-67 anchored off Tarakan Island, Borneo with the original assault forces. Destroyers, gunboats, rocket ships, and mine sweepers came alongside to replenish their magazines... The LST-67 also acted as general logistics ship during the operation, furnishing dry stores, fuel, and fresh water to the various participating vessels.' At Balikpapan: 'On 17 June, 1945, the Coast Guard manned LST-67 departed Morotai... passed through the Macassar Straits June 23rd... thus becoming the first LST through this historic pass. On "D" minus seven, June 24th, the 67 anchored in Balikpapan Bay. Ammunition was speedily transferred to cruisers and destroyers...' On the night of 25 June Japanese torpedo planes evaded the air patrol; 'accurate fire routed the attackers, however, one plane being hit repeatedly by the 67's guns as it circled in to port, finally crashing in flames a few hundred yards off the beam.' She took on additional ammunition at Tawi Tawi, rendezvoused with the main convoy, and on invasion day 1 July 1945 'was again at anchor in Balikpapan Bay, supplying destroyers and support ships with explosives as they blasted a path for the troops engaged in the last major amphibious operation of the war.'

Sweeney & Brothers site; in 1942 the Navy condemned the neighboring Howard Shipyard & Dock Company and leased it to JeffBoat for the war's duration, during which it was a major LST builder with employment peaking at 13,000; ABL bought the Howard yard in 1947 and merged it; JeffBoat closed permanently in 2018.

- Finding
- A 1942-43 amphibious auxiliary built inside the Navy's documented asbestos-use era would have carried era-standard applications for the type: diesel exhaust lagging and gaskets around the GM engines and engine-room uptakes, thermal/acoustic insulation in machinery spaces, valve and flange gaskets and packing, deck coverings/tile, bulkhead and accommodation insulation, electrical insulation, and winch/crane brake linings. As a diesel-powered ship she carried no boilers - the boiler/turbine steam-lagging pathway of steam vessels does not apply. Her 1947-48 scrapping at a New Jersey breakers yard predates any hazmat documentation regime - the breakup itself would have been a full-disturbance event, undocumented.

- Finding
- No qualifying ship-specific asbestos record located: no asbestos survey, abatement contract, hazmat disclosure, or docketed case naming USS LST-67 was found in the public sources searched (see search_ledger). Secondary web sweeps surfaced only registry and historical material - the law-firm/marketing 'Navy asbestos ship' listicles common to other hulls did not surface for this name string.

- Limitations
- Absence of a located public record does not prove absence of asbestos aboard - a 1942-built amphibious auxiliary is era-consistent with asbestos-containing materials, and her 1947-48 scrapping would have been a complete undocumented disturbance event. Undigitized leads remain (NARA deck logs 11/43-6/45; JeffBoat-era construction records; scrapping contract file). Does not establish or defeat any claim of exposure or legal eligibility.
