[4]National Archives, Researching Asbestos aboard US Naval Vessel up through 1961 [other_primary]

- Beginning Research; Ship Engineering Drawings; Other Records and their usefulness
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- National Archives identifies ship engineering drawings arranged by hull and material group, including S39 insulation-and-lagging and S48 piping records, as potential sources for vessel asbestos research. It states that deck logs and muster rolls do not directly establish asbestos presence, although they may identify work periods that narrow archival research.

- Limitations
- Research guidance and archival pathway, not a Nye County finding. No hull-specific S39, S48, deck-log, or shipyard file was retrieved in this production pass; the guidance does not establish asbestos aboard this hull.

- Locator
- search_ledger rows sl-uss-nye-county-lst1067-01 through -10
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No qualifying ship-specific asbestos record was located in the public sources searched: no asbestos survey, abatement contract, hazmat disclosure, condition report, or museum record naming USS Nye County (LST-1067) was verified.

- Study period
- 2026-10-02 research sweep
- Limitations
- A negative search result does not prove absence of asbestos aboard. Firecrawl was unavailable because its hosted keyless session reported a multi-hour quota wait; live fallback sources were searched. National Archives hull-specific engineering records remain unretrieved. The CourtListener sweep was interrupted by the authenticated fleet pacing stand-down, so litigation coverage is an access gap rather than a no-result finding.
