- Harris v. CBS order (ECF No. 49), footnote 3 ship list
- Finding type

- Finding
- A federal court order on a removal/remand dispute recites plaintiffs' interrogatory-response ship list in footnote 3: 'The ships include the USS Barbel (SS-580), the USS Barb (SSN-596), USS Mariano G. Vallejo (SSBN-658), the USS Parche (SSN-683), the USS Flasher (SSN-613), the USS Pollack (SSN-603), the USS Dace (SSN-607), the USS Seawolf (SSN-575), and the USS Richard B. Russell (SSN-687).' The order's context is federal-officer-removal (28 U.S.C. § 1442) procedure.

- Limitations
- Discovery-stage record: the court recites the plaintiffs' interrogatory answer (a discovery ship list), which is the plaintiffs' allegation of exposure-associated vessels - not a judicial finding that asbestos was aboard any listed hull. The order addresses removal procedure, not exposure merits. Hull number is stated in the court's own recital, making attribution certain.

[7]Gilstrap v. CBS Corporation et al., No. 19-309-MN-SRF (D. Del.), Report and Recommendation (Fallon, M.J., Jan. 13, 2021) - official court PDF at ded.uscourts.gov [court_record]

- Gilstrap v. CBS R&R (D. Del. 19-309-MN-SRF), Facts section reciting deposition service history
- Finding type
- litigation_documented
- Finding
- A magistrate judge's Report and Recommendation in an asbestos personal-injury action recites plaintiff Jerry S. Gilstrap's alleged service history: he 'worked as an engine room supervisor on the USS Sunfish and the USS Vallejo' among a career spanning USS Volador, USS Robert E. Lee, Nuclear Power School, USS Omaha, and USS Indianapolis. The R&R recommends GRANTING defendants General Dynamics' and Electric Boat's motion for summary judgment.

- Jerry S. Gilstrap, Navy master chief/engine room supervisor (alleged)
- Limitations
- DEFENSE-FAVORABLE DISPOSITION: the R&R recommends summary judgment FOR defendants - a merits-level negative for this plaintiff, not exposure evidence. The vessel recital identifies 'USS Vallejo' without a hull number; attribution to SSBN-658 is inferential though strong (the only commissioned USS Vallejo; service chronology fits). The asbestos claims in this case centered on the Groton shipyard 1975-80, not Vallejo service. No finding that asbestos was aboard this hull.

- historical_record
- Finding
- Era context: U.S. submarines of this construction era (keel 1964, commission 1966) were built to military specifications that era-standardly employed asbestos-containing thermal insulation, gasket, and packing materials on steam and auxiliary systems; naval-shipyard construction and overhaul periods are documented peak-exposure settings in the asbestos-litigation record generally. Mare Island Naval Shipyard itself has an extensive documented asbestos-litigation history (the complaint-roster cases naming this hull are Mare Island worker suits).
