- Special List No. 44, ship-number table, entry 'PC-1259 3/6/1945 6/30/1945'
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- The NARA ship-number index lists PC-1259 with Navy deck-log coverage from 6 March 1945 through 30 June 1945. This establishes ship-specific Navy record coverage during that period and supports in-scope Navy service; it is not an independently verified commissioning date.

[3]National Archives, An Introduction to Navy Deck Logs [other_primary]
- Locator
- NARA sections 'What is a Deck Log?' and '1941-1959 Deck Logs'
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- NARA explains that Navy deck logs are running records of ship activities and that the title page identifies the vessel and the beginning and ending dates of a log. NARA also explains that permanent deck-log retention is generally tied to commissioned Navy ships, while noting World War II exceptions.

[4]Independent authoritative-source and VERIFY sweep for USS PC-1259 / PC-1259 [other_primary]
- Locator
- Research notes and search ledger dated 2026-10-03
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No exact or researched-designation match for USS PC-1259 / PC-1259 was located in the reviewed VERIFY material or authoritative-source sweep that documented asbestos aboard this hull or a qualifying asbestos-litigation exposure allegation tied to this hull.

- Study period
- 1944-2026 research coverage
- Population
- Potential crew, shipyard, and litigation records
- Limitations
- A negative search result is not proof that no record exists. Search coverage was limited by the unavailable Firecrawl quota and the CourtListener fleet pacing stand-down; no asbestos variant was run because the required base-query sequence was throttled before completion. This row does not establish absence of litigation or absence of asbestos aboard.

[5]No qualifying ship-specific asbestos documentation located [other_primary]
- Locator
- Batch source review completed 2026-10-03
- Finding type

- No primary-source document reviewed in this batch directly identifies asbestos-containing insulation, lagging, gaskets, packing, deck covering, fireproofing, abatement, or an asbestos survey aboard PC-1259.

- Population
- Unknown
- Limitations
- The record therefore remains asbestos-documentation unknown at the ship-specific level. Class, construction era, steam or diesel equipment, or generic Navy asbestos history cannot be converted into a PC-1259 finding.
