The entry predates the ship's decommissioning, striking, and sinking - those dates come from secondary sources. Spec-block class field reads 'Null' (transcription artifact; the class is Forrest Sherman) and 'Passagoula' is a transcription typo for Pascagoula. Mirror transcription cited because the live NHHC page returns 404.

Conversion-scope paragraph (secondary): removed both after 5-inch/54 mounts; installed AN/SPG-51C MFCS, Mk.13 GMLS (Tartar), ASROC, modified GFCS for a second missile-capable channel; forward 5-inch mount and torpedo tubes retained. navysite.de adds the conversion was performed at the Long Beach Naval Shipyard ('entered ... January 1966, for conversion ... Conversion was completed in November 1967'), consistent with DANFS placing both the decommissioning and the yard period there.

- Finding type
- litigation_documented
- Finding
- Pleading-stage asbestos litigation explicitly naming this hull: the complaint's Exhibit A lists plaintiff Stephen Gotautis's exposure history by employer/location/job-title/dates, including 'US Navy ... PARSONS (DDG-33), Vietnam ... Boiler Tender ... 6/1971 - 9/1971'. The same exhibit lists seven other Navy vessels (HALSEY POWELL DD-686 2/1959-12/1960 incl. Long Beach Naval Shipyard; UHLMANN DD-687 12/1960-5/1961; BUCHANAN DDG-14 2/1962-5/1962; EDSON DD-946 6/1962-9/1966 supervisor; BERKELEY DDG-15 10/1966-1967; DOWNES DE-1070 2/1968-6/1971; HAROLD E. HOLT DE-1074 9/1971-12/1972) plus a Missouri State University power-plant period, in a consistent Navy boiler-technician career path. The pleading alleges asbestosis diagnosed on or about January 2007 and asbestos-related pleural disease on or about April 2010. Hull attribution is explicit - the pleading gives hull number DDG-33, not merely the ship name; the 6/1971-9/1971 window falls inside DDG-33's commissioned service (homeported San Diego until October 1971, then Yokosuka); the 'Vietnam' location tag is the pleading's own label and the ship's precise whereabouts June-September 1971 are not established by the located sources.

The pleading does not identify which products aboard were asbestos-containing and does not quantify exposure. A plaintiff's ship list is an allegation, not a finding.

- Finding
- Era/class inference: a Forrest Sherman-class destroyer built 1957-59 with the class-standard 1,200-psi four-boiler, two-shaft geared-turbine plant (70,000 shp - the earliest 1,200-psi plants in the U.S. fleet per the USNI retrospective) would have carried period-standard asbestos applications: boiler and turbine insulation, steam-line lagging, valve and flange gaskets, machinery packing, fireproofing, and deck coverings. Builder Ingalls Shipbuilding (Pascagoula) is documented at yard level in the Atlas dataset (tier 2) with named asbestos products (Thermobestos, Kaylo, Zonolite, Monokote, pipe covering, block insulation, gaskets, packing, tape, cement, fireproofing). The 1966-67 guided-missile conversion at Long Beach Naval Shipyard - superstructure and combat-system replacement documented in secondary accounts - is the kind of rip-out availability where insulation disturbance and replacement were routine; the hull's 1989 target sinking predates modern disposal-phase hazmat inventories. NARA RG 19 BuShips construction and conversion work-package records are the archival lead for hull-level specifications.
