- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- NavSource's live PC-1183 hull page identifies PC-1183 as a PC-461-class submarine chaser. It states that Gibbs Gas Engine Co. at Jacksonville, Florida laid the vessel down on 27 October 1942; launched it on 7 July 1943; commissioned USS PC-1183 on 7 December 1943; transferred it to the War Shipping Administration in June 1948; transferred it to Indonesia on 14 June 1951, where it was named Tenggiri (TGR); and records scrapping in 1976. The page gives 450-ton displacement, 173 feet 8 inches length, 23-foot beam, 10 feet 10 inches draft, 20.2-knot speed, and two 1,440 bhp Hooven-Owen-Rentschler R-99DA diesel engines driving two shafts.

- Limitations
- NavSource is a naval-history photo/archive compilation rather than a Navy material record. The page states that no DANFS history is currently available for PC-1183. It does not document asbestos, asbestos-containing products, crew exposure, repair scope, exact Navy decommissioning or striking dates, or legal eligibility.

[4]National Archives, Researching Asbestos aboard US Naval Vessel up through 1961 [other_primary]

- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- The National Archives asbestos-research guide identifies Record Group 19 sources relevant to pre-1961 Navy-vessel research, including Patrol Craft General Information Books, Ship General Information Books, ship and machinery specifications, and S39 insulation-and-lagging drawings. These records are archival leads for possible hull-level material documentation, not evidence that asbestos was aboard PC-1183.

- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No qualifying ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazmat disclosure, product record, or completed litigation result was identified in the accessible public sources searched for USS PC-1183, PC-1183, and Tenggiri. This is a negative finding about the sources reviewed, not a finding that asbestos was absent aboard the vessel.

- Limitations
- The absence of a located public record does not prove absence of asbestos aboard. Firecrawl was unavailable because its keyless connector reported a multi-hour quota stand-down. The required authenticated CourtListener exact-name and hull-number sweep was also blocked by a daily-quota stand-down, so no conclusion about qualifying litigation can be drawn from that unavailable search.
