    Finding
    NavSource's PC-464 archive identifies the hull as a PC-461-class submarine chaser, laid down 8 August 1941 by George Lawley and Sons, Inc., Neponset, Massachusetts; launched 27 February 1942; and commissioned 15 May 1942. The archive reports Caribbean/South American convoy escort, reassignment to the Pacific Fleet, participation in the October 1944 Leyte invasion, and sale on 12 January 1947; it also states that no DANFS history is currently available for PC-464.

    Limitations
    NavSource is an archival collection, not a Navy vessel register. This row supports basic identity and reported service chronology only; it contains no asbestos, insulation, engineering-work, survey, abatement, exposure, causation, or legal-eligibility finding. The reported final Navy dates and sale require confirmation against a primary register.

    Limitations
    The list establishes NARA's logbook holdings and their date spans; the underlying logs were not retrieved or reviewed. It does not establish locations, repair work, materials, asbestos presence, individual exposure, causation, or legal eligibility.

    Finding type
    historical_record
    Finding
    No public ship-specific asbestos record was located in the reviewed sources: no asbestos survey, abatement record, hazmat disclosure, or primary engineering specification naming PC-464 was found. The NARA logbook list and NavSource archive contain no asbestos-material finding.

    Limitations
    This is a documented search result, not proof that asbestos was absent aboard the vessel. CourtListener returned no search payload because the authenticated fleet helper's shared pacing budget was spent; that unresolved litigation sweep is separately logged as blocked, not counted as a no-result search. No inference from construction era, class, or diesel propulsion is made.
