    1945-01-13 to 1945-06-30 (listed deck log coverage)
    Limitations
    This is a finding aid describing the date span of deck logs, not the deck logs themselves. It establishes an archival lead and does not establish construction, commission, service events, asbestos content, or exposure.

    Research log; CourtListener and Firecrawl access outcomes recorded in search_ledger
    Finding type
    historical_record
    Finding
    No directly supported ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazardous-material disclosure, or qualifying asbestos-litigation record was located in the searches completed for this record.
    Verification

    Accessed
    2026-10-03
    Limitations
    A bounded search result, not proof that such records do not exist. The authenticated CourtListener exact-name request timed out, and the hull-number request then reported a multi-hour 429 wait; CourtListener results therefore remain unresolved. Firecrawl searches could not run because the session quota was exhausted. See gaps and search_ledger.
