- Finding
- The National Archives and Records Administration's Special List 44, by Ship Numbers, indexes a PC-1131 deck-log series covering 28 July 1943 through 30 June 1945. This is a ship-specific archival lead and establishes that NARA identifies records under the PC-1131 designation during that period.

- PC-1131 crew and operations recorded in the indexed deck logs
- Limitations
- The Special List is a finding aid, not the underlying deck logs. It does not independently establish commissioning, construction, operations, materials aboard, asbestos presence, exposure, causation, or legal eligibility.

[3]U.S. Government Accountability Office, Navy Efforts To Protect Workers From Asbestos Exposure, HRD-80-2 (18 October 1979) [gao]
- Locator
- Highlights: Navy use of asbestos in ships; 1975 and 1979 insulation-removal policies
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- GAO's 1979 review states that it examined asbestos use in Navy ships and Navy policy for asbestos-insulation removal at Long Beach and Norfolk Naval Shipyards. It reports that the 1975 policy removed and replaced with nonasbestos materials only damaged insulation or insulation that had to be removed for necessary repairs, and that the policy was modified in 1979 to selectively replace asbestos insulation in high-maintenance areas. This is Navy-wide and era context only; it does not identify PC-1131 or establish what was installed, removed, or retained aboard this hull.

- Navy shipyard workers and Navy ships reviewed by GAO; not PC-1131-specific
- Limitations
- GAO's review is program- and shipyard-level, not PC-1131-specific. It does not establish asbestos presence, quantity, condition, location, worker exposure, causation, or legal eligibility for this hull.

[4]Bounded negative-finding result from the search ledger for USS PC-1131 / PC-1131 [other_primary]

- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- No qualifying ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazardous-material inventory, construction material specification, product-identification record, or completed asbestos-litigation finding was located in the authoritative public sources reviewed for USS PC-1131 and PC-1131. Asbestos presence aboard this hull is unknown; no asbestos product is asserted.

- Limitations
- This is a bounded research result, not proof that asbestos was absent. The Firecrawl search was blocked by keyless quota exhaustion, and the required authenticated CourtListener sweep was stopped after the helper reported a multi-hour daily-quota stand-down; no conclusion about qualifying litigation can be drawn from that unavailable search.

[5]Authenticated CourtListener helper response, 2026-10-03 [other_primary]

- cl-auth-search.py exact-name opinion request; helper output reported 13,951-second stand-down
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- The required authenticated CourtListener helper was invoked for the exact-name query USS PC-1131. It reported DAILY QUOTA EXHAUSTED and instructed a stand-down of approximately 13,951 seconds (about 3.9 hours); no result set was returned. The exact hull-number query PC-1131 was not sent after that throttle, and no litigation classification is made.
