[2]National Archives, Special List 44, Ship Logs, by Ship Numbers, entry for PC-1080 [other_primary]
- Locator
- Research scope: NARA Special List 44; NHHC DANFS site search; live NavSource archive; authenticated CourtListener helper attempt
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos survey, removal record, material specification, or qualifying asbestos-litigation record for USS PC-1080 (PC-1080) was located in the public authoritative sources searched for this record.

- Population
- Unknown
- Limitations
- This is a scoped negative research finding, not proof that asbestos was absent from the hull or that no exposure occurred. NARA's log index identifies a primary-source lead, but the indexed logs and any associated construction or disposal files were not retrieved; the authenticated CourtListener sweep was not completed because the required fleet pacing helper did not return a search response within this session's execution window.

- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- The live NavSource PC-1080 archive identifies this PC-461-class submarine chaser as laid down at Albina Engine and Machine Works, Portland, Oregon, on 1942-04-29; launched 1942-08-27; commissioned 1943-03-29; redesignated PCC-1080 on 1945-08-20; struck 1946-08-28; and sold 1947-01-16, with later fate unknown. It lists two Fairbanks Morse diesel engines, not steam boilers, as propulsion.

- Construction workforce at Albina Engine and Machine Works; PC-1080 crew
- Limitations
- NavSource is a specialist historical archive, not an official Navy vessel register, and this source does not document asbestos-containing materials, absence of such materials, exposure, or legal eligibility. Diesel propulsion alone is not proof of any hull-specific material condition.

- Special List 44, PC-1077 through PC-1083 entries; PC-1080 row
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding

- Population
- PC-1080 crew and shipboard operations covered by surviving-log index dates
- Limitations
- The index establishes the listed logbook date span only. It does not state that surviving logs contain asbestos, material, repair, or individual-exposure information; those records were not retrieved for this research pass.
