[2]NHHC search result for The Mediterranean Convoys, 1943–44, Appendix: Ships and Other Vessels (surfaced as https://www.history.navy.mil/content/dam/nhhc/research/publications/Publication-PDF/Mediterranean%20Convoys%201943-44.pdf; direct live request returned HTTP 404 on 2026-10-03) [other_primary]

- Finding
- NHHC's indexed excerpt identifies Cimeterre as originally PC-1250, a PC-461-class U.S. patrol craft transferred to the Free French Naval Forces under Lend-Lease; the excerpt reports laid down 14 August 1943, launched 18 December 1943, transferred 4 February 1944, and renamed Cimeterre on 9 March 1944. These details are retained only as an archival lead, not as verified record facts, because the cited NHHC PDF is not live-accessible.

- Study period
- 1943–1944 (index excerpt only)
- Limitations
- Search-index excerpt only; the official PDF returned HTTP 404 when checked live and the direct DANFS page was inaccessible. Do not treat the dates, classification, or transfer/renaming details as verified until the NHHC publication is recovered from a live page or archive. This source says nothing about asbestos, material composition, individual exposure, or legal eligibility.

[3]Research-session negative finding; searches of official NHHC/DANFS, NARA, NPS, Navy, and Naval Vessel Register indexed material plus a limited CourtListener attempt; see search_ledger [other_primary]

- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No primary ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazmat disclosure, or qualifying asbestos-litigation record was verified in this session. This is a bounded research result, not proof that no such record exists.

- Limitations
- Official-source searching was impaired by Firecrawl keyless quota exhaustion and unavailable or dead NHHC URLs. CourtListener base-query coverage is incomplete: the first authenticated exact-name opinion query returned HTTP 429 with a 5,822-second backoff, so work stopped before the other three required base queries. This is not a zero-result conclusion; no asbestos inference is made from class or era.
