- Limitations
- NavSource is a reputable independently maintained naval-history archive, not an official Navy publication; its dates are the fullest located chain but cannot be cross-verified against a DANFS (none exists) - uboat.net carries a 28 August 1942 laid-down variant (see gaps). Documents identity, milestones, and disposal only - no service narrative, no decommissioning date, no post-1948 buyer, and nothing on materials or asbestos content.

Wartime commanding officers: Lt. Sidney Richmond Jackson, USNR (23 Mar 1943-mid 1943); R. H. Waldinger, USNR (mid 1943-mid 1944); William L. Pellington, USNR (mid 1944-early 1945); Lt. Louis Osborne Coxe, USNR (early 1945-late 1945).

- Wartime crew under four documented COs, 1943-1945
- Limitations
- uboat.net is a reputable independently compiled warship database; the CO roster is unattributed and cannot be traced to a primary muster source - carried as partial. Its 28 August 1942 laid-down date conflicts with NavSource's 8 August 1942 (see gaps); launch/commission dates agree with NavSource and shipbuildinghistory. No service narrative, no materials data.

- Finding
- NHHC tabulation lists PC-1195 among the PC-461-class steel-hulled submarine chasers in the 1942-44 commissioning window. The page's class block carries the class design data: 284 tons, 173'8", 23' beam, 10'10" draft, 21 knots, one 3"/50 + one 40mm + five 20mm, two depth-charge throwers (mousetraps) + two K-guns + two depth-charge racks, complement 65, diesel engines two screws 2,280 shp.

- The hull listing is ship-specific; the specification block is class-level data, not a PC-1195 survey - individual-hull variants exist (NavSource carries three 20mm mounts and 2,880bhp engines for this hull; see gaps). Cited via the ibiblio/HyperWar mirror because the live NHHC URL returns 404 - standing NHHC link-rot defect documented since BATCH-01.

- Yard construction table entry for this hull: yard hull number 3125, type 'Sub Chaser' (design 463d), US Navy, 173 ft, delivered 23 March 1943, disposition 'To MARAD 1946'. Table documents the Consolidated Morris Heights yard's wartime PC run (hulls 3121-3130 = PC-1191 through PC-1200) and the yard's history: formed from the 1896 Gas Engine & Power/Charles L. Seabury merger; yard at Matthewson Road on the Harlem River; Morris Heights closed postwar when Consolidated bought the Robert Jacob and B.F. Wood yards on City Island.

- Limitations
- Reputable independent shipyard-data compilation (Colton), not an official record. 'To MARAD 1946' compresses the disposal chain - NavSource records strike 17 April 1946 but formal War Shipping Administration transfer 7 June 1948 (see gaps); the 1946 figure likely reflects Navy disposal year. No materials or asbestos content.

- Finding
- Institutional finding aid for the papers of Louis Osborne Coxe (1918-1993), poet and Bowdoin professor: 'As a lieutenant in the Navy he captained a patrol boat in the Pacific and Caribbean.' uboat.net's command roster ties Coxe to this hull as final wartime CO (early-late 1945), and NavSource's only PC-1195 photographs (including a c.1945 crew photo) are from the Coxe family collection.

- Population
- Lt. Louis O. Coxe, USNR (CO early-late 1945); wartime crew
- Limitations
- The finding aid describes Coxe's patrol-boat service collectively across two commands; secondary literature attributes his Pacific combat service (Northern Solomons, Guam, Saipan-Tinian) to his earlier command PC-549, so the Pacific leg does not establish PC-1195's theater. This row establishes a documented commanding officer and a photo provenance, nothing more - no exposure claim for any individual is made.

[7]Era inference built on: NavSource propulsion/specification block for this hull; NHHC PC-461 class data; GAO HRD-80-2 (Navy-wide asbestos insulation era) [other_primary]

- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- Era-consistent asbestos applications for a 1942-43 steel-hulled diesel patrol craft: thermal insulation on engine and exhaust runs, machinery/exhaust lagging, gaskets, valve packing, and electrical insulation. Geared diesel plant (no boilers, no steam turbines) removes the boiler/turbine lagging pathway typical of steam-era combatants.

- Limitations
- INFERENCE ONLY - no ship-specific record (no DANFS, no survey, no abatement or hazmat disclosure, no qualifying litigation located or searchable) documents asbestos aboard this hull. Application list is derived from the propulsion fit plus the documented Navy-wide asbestos-insulation era, not from any PC-1195 source. Does not establish presence, quantity, location, or remaining material.

- Finding
- GAO program-level review documenting the Navy's asbestos-insulation problem across the fleet - asbestos was the standard Navy shipboard insulation material and remained in use into the early 1970s. Establishes that this hull's 1942-43 construction window sits inside the documented Navy asbestos era.
