- vessel_history
- Finding
- NavSource's live PC-1190 hull page identifies PC-1190 as a PC-461-class submarine chaser, call sign Nan-Queen-Baker-Charlie. It states that Gibbs Gas Engine Co. at Jacksonville, Florida laid the vessel down on 1 September 1943; launched it on 29 June 1944; commissioned USS PC-1190 on 6 February 1945; and that it was decommissioned 10 June 1948, transferred to the War Shipping Administration, and sold, with fate unknown. The page gives 450-ton displacement, 173 feet 8 inches length, 23-foot beam, 10 feet 10 inches draft, 20.2-knot speed, armament of one 3"/50 dual-purpose mount, one 40mm mount, five 20mm guns, two rocket launchers and two depth-charge tracks, and two 1,440 bhp Hooven-Owen-Rentschler R-99DA diesel engines driving two shafts. It states that no DANFS history is currently available for PC-1190.

- Limitations
- NavSource is a volunteer naval-history photo/archive compilation rather than a Navy material record; its milestone dates are carried as reported. It does not document asbestos, asbestos-containing products, crew exposure, repair scope, the striking date, or the post-sale disposition. Its 'fate unknown' note is consistent with the MARAD database negative in ev-06.

- Finding
- The Naval History and Heritage Command's published 'United States Pacific Fleet Organization, 1 May 1945' lists 'PC 1190' in the Service Squadron Two vessel roster under Service Force, Pacific Fleet (Commander Service Squadron Two: V. Adm. W. W. Smith). The entry carries the document's '(1)' flag and shows no commanding officer reported. This is an official Navy organizational document placing this hull in the Pacific Fleet service-force organization as of 1 May 1945.

- Limitations
- Establishes organizational assignment on one date only. The document's '(1)' flag is not defined on the reproduced page, so its meaning is not asserted here; the row claims fleet assignment, not arrival, operations, or any specific duty. It documents presence in the Pacific organization, not materials or asbestos content aboard the hull.

- Finding
- The National Archives' Special List 44, by Ship Numbers, lists PC-1190 with deck-log coverage beginning 6 February 1945 (the commissioning date) and ending 30 June 1945. The entry supplies an archival lead for contemporaneous operational records for this hull.

- Finding
- The National Archives asbestos-research guide identifies Record Group 19 and RG 38 sources relevant to pre-1961 Navy-vessel asbestos research, including RG 19 Entry P 12 'Patrol Craft General Information Books [Item S-68], 1902-1955', RG 38 Entry P 1-E 'Patrol Craft Material Inspection Reports and Related Documentation, 1940-1978', ship and machinery specifications, and S39 insulation-and-lagging drawings within the Hull Series of ship engineering drawings arranged by hull number. The guide states that asbestos use in U.S. Navy materiel from 1941-1961 is a frequently requested research topic. These records are archival leads for possible hull-level material documentation, not evidence that asbestos was aboard PC-1190.

- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- Secondary compilations corroborate and extend the NavSource chronology: uboat.net's Allied Warships entry for USS PC-1190 records the vessel as ordered 27 February 1942 and lists Lt.(j.g.) D. G. Parker, USNR, as commanding officer from 6 February 1945 to late 1945; shipbuildinghistory.com's Gibbs yard table lists 'PC 1190' as a U.S. Navy sub chaser of 463 tons (displacement) and 173 feet, delivered 6 February 1945, with disposition 'To MARAD 196' - the final digit(s) truncated in the published table.

- Gibbs construction trades; Lt.(j.g.) D. G. Parker and crew, 1945
- Limitations
- Both are respected secondary compilations, not primary records. The order date and commanding-officer entry are carried as unverified corroboration; the truncated 'To MARAD 196x' disposition cannot be resolved to a year and conflicts with nothing - it is consistent with a post-Navy MARAD path but unverified. No asbestos content.

- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- The U.S. Maritime Administration's Vessel History Database returns no record for 'PC-1190', 'PC 1190', or '1190' in live searches run this date. NavSource records the hull as transferred to the War Shipping Administration and sold in June 1948 with fate unknown; the MARAD database negative is consistent with immediate post-transfer commercial sale leaving no MARAD custody trail.

- Limitations
- An empty database result is an absence-of-record finding, not proof the vessel never entered MARAD custody - the database documents vessels with status cards and may not capture hulls transferred for immediate resale. It neither establishes nor defeats the shipbuildinghistory 'To MARAD 196x' disposition.

- 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-1190 and PC-1190. An asbestos-keyed web sweep surfaced only name collisions (Canadian Orders in Council, parts-price lists, bid-package specifications) and no vessel content. 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. The required authenticated CourtListener exact-name and hull-number sweep was blocked by the fleet daily-quota stand-down (~2.9 h requested wait), so no conclusion about qualifying litigation can be drawn from that unavailable search.
