    Finding
    An NHHC catalog entry titled SARASIN (Thai submarine chaser, 1941-1982), catalog NH 96074, surfaced as a research lead. The live page returned HTTP 404 and an archived copy could not be retrieved, so its caption content is not used as a substantive finding.

    Limitations
    The live catalog page was not accessible and no archived copy could be retrieved. Its search preview is not treated as verified evidence for the hull's identity history, transfer date, later fate, or asbestos content.
