- Search ledger rows sl-uss-lst-894-lst894-01 through -04
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No primary-source asbestos survey, abatement record, hazmat disclosure, or other ship-specific asbestos document was located in the official-source research completed for this pass. This is a bounded search result, not proof that no such record exists.

- 2026-10-03 research pass
- Limitations
- Research coverage was constrained: Firecrawl search was unavailable because its configured MCP session had exhausted its free quota, and the authenticated CourtListener helper reported a daily quota stand-down. The CourtListener asbestos-litigation sweep therefore remains incomplete; no CourtListener result or negative conclusion is claimed. See search_ledger.

- Locator
- LST-898 DANFS entry, postwar service and disposition paragraphs
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- DANFS identifies Lincoln County and its later Royal Thai Navy service as LST-898, not LST-894; those later service and transfer details are excluded from this LST-894 record.
