- Finding
- Republic of China Ministry of National Defense Navy Command identifies PC-1078 as a patrol craft built by Albina Engine & Machinery, records a 1942-08-08 launch, states that it served in World War II, and says the United States transferred it to the Republic of China under the Mutual Defense Treaty on 1954-05-19. The ROCN named it Zi Jiang and assigned PC-109; the source reports that it retired after 17 years of ROCN service because of its age and deteriorated machinery.

- Population
- U.S. Navy and Republic of China Navy personnel (service-history context only)
- Limitations
- This is a ship-history source, not an asbestos record. It does not identify construction materials, asbestos-containing products, quantities, locations, worker exposure, or legal eligibility. The English romanization Zi Jiang follows the source's Chinese name only as a transliteration; no separate official English naming record was located.

- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No qualifying ship-specific asbestos documentation was located in the authoritative public sources reviewed: no asbestos survey, abatement record, material inventory, environmental/hazmat disclosure, or qualifying asbestos litigation record was found. CourtListener's required authenticated exact-name search could not proceed because the helper reported a 16,630-second daily-quota wait before returning results.

- Study period
- Research performed 2026-10-03
- Limitations
- This is a bounded negative research result, not proof that asbestos was absent from the vessel. The CourtListener exact hull-number search was not sent after the helper's multi-hour stand-down instruction, and NARA's underlying logbooks were not reviewed. The result establishes neither presence nor absence of asbestos, exposure, causation, or legal eligibility.
