   The NARA catalog returns 96 ship-specific monthly deck-log file units for 'Page County (LST-1076)' in series NAID 594258, spanning November 1960 (recommissioning month; e.g., NAID 176084555) through November 1970 (e.g., NAID 173552586) - effectively the whole recommissioned era up to the final months before the March 1971 decommissioning. Each unit carries digitized page images (e.g., November 1969, NAID 176085619, 61 objects; August 1968, NAID 220761805, 115 objects). These are the primary daily record of the hull's Vietnam deployments, availabilities, and the 1963 FRAM overhaul - an unusually complete digitized archival lead for a hull of this tier.

DANFS dates the overhaul window as entering San Francisco 16 March and completion in July; the title pages bracket March and April at Willamette Richmond - the full yard-period bounds (entry date in mid-March, departure month) are inferable but not separately documented in this record.

   A diesel-powered LST-542-class hull built March-May 1945 sits inside the Navy's documented asbestos-use era, but its diesel plant removes the boiler/steam-lagging pathway characteristic of steam vessels. Era-standard asbestos-relevant applications aboard a diesel amphibious ship of this period: diesel-exhaust and engine-room lagging; machinery thermal/acoustic insulation; gaskets and valve packing on the diesel plant, generators, and auxiliaries; deck coverings and tile; bulkhead and accommodation insulation; winch/windlass brake linings. The documented 1963 FRAM II overhaul at a commercial yard is the kind of availability in which insulation was disturbed, removed, and renewed - but the materials handled aboard this hull are undocumented.

    Finding

    No qualifying ship-specific asbestos record located: no asbestos survey, insulation material schedule, abatement contract, hazmat disclosure, or adjudicated litigation naming USS Page County / LST-1076 was found in the public sources searched (see search_ledger). CourtListener coverage: 'LST-1076' returned zero opinions and one RECAP docket (Davis v. GE, N.D. Cal. - pleading-stage datum, see ev-11); 'USS Page County' and 'LST 1076' (space variant) each returned zero opinions; 'Page County' + asbestos returned 32 opinion hits, all name collisions (Du Page County, Illinois, and county-government matters - none referencing the ship). Secondary web sweeps surfaced only law-firm listicle mentions (e.g., a Hill & Ponton Blue Water Navy ship list) and an unverifiable social-media anecdote describing the ship 'in the drydock at Saigon in April 1970' (Blue Water Navy Association Facebook group) - excluded sources.

    Limitations

    Absence of a located public record does not prove absence of asbestos aboard. CourtListener coverage is limited to indexed opinions and RECAP dockets; state-court filings (e.g., California superior courts, where Willamette-yard cases like Lineaweaver were litigated) are outside coverage. Deck-log interiors (96 monthly units), Bethlehem-Hingham yard records, FRAM overhaul work packages, and Hellenic Navy records for Kriti (L-171) are undigitized/unsearched leads. Does not establish or defeat any claim of exposure or legal eligibility.
