[3]Batch 9318 research ledger: official-source checks and CourtListener attempt log [other_primary]

- search_ledger rows sl-uss-madokawando-yt180-01 through sl-uss-madokawando-yt180-04
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No qualifying ship-specific asbestos record was located in the authoritative public sources reviewed: no survey, abatement contract, hazardous-material disclosure, or verified qualifying litigation record naming Madokawando/YT-180 was obtained. The NHHC DANFS candidate URL returned HTTP 404; the NVR candidate detail URLs redirected to the NVR home page; and the available NAVSEA history-list entry concerns 1983 removal only.

- Study period
- 2026-10-05
- Limitations
- A negative public-record search does not prove that asbestos was absent from this vessel, was removed, or could not have caused exposure. CourtListener did not return substantive results because the authenticated fleet limiter stood down before the required search set could complete; this is an access gap, not a litigation negative.
