- Finding
- NARA's Special List #44 deck-log finding aid identifies PC-584, with no other name printed, and lists a begin date of 1942-08-22 and an end date of 1945-12-01 for the indexed logbook material.

- Ship's company reflected in deck-log records
- Limitations
- This is a NARA finding aid for deck logs, not a construction contract, commissioning order, decommissioning order, casualty report, material list, or asbestos survey. Its dates are carried as the index's begin/end dates only; it does not establish asbestos presence, exposure, products, or legal eligibility.

[3]CDC/NIOSH, '100 Years of Respiratory Protection History,' historical discussion of U.S. Navy asbestos insulation use [other_primary]
- Locator
- CDC/NIOSH page, paragraph beginning 'As the world entered World War II'
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- CDC/NIOSH states that, as World War II began, U.S. Navy use of asbestos increased for insulation purposes for pipes in naval vessels, and describes Navy recognition of the hazards of cutting and wetting asbestos-containing insulation. PC-584's NARA-indexed service dates fall within that war period.

- Study period
- World War II context; PC-584 NARA log index 1942-1945
- Population
- U.S. Navy personnel and naval-vessel insulation work during World War II
- Limitations
- Navy-wide historical context only. The CDC/NIOSH page neither names PC-584 nor identifies a class, location, product, quantity, condition, or exposure event on this hull. It supports prioritizing archival research, not a finding that PC-584 contained asbestos.

[4]NARA Special List #44 plus documented source-search ledger for USS PC-584 / PC-584 [other_primary]

- search_ledger rows sl-uss-pc-584-pc584-01 through sl-uss-pc-584-pc584-05
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No qualifying public ship-specific asbestos documentation was located in the authoritative sources searched: no hull survey, abatement record, material list, asbestos product identification, or laboratory result for PC-584 was found. The completed CourtListener hull-number opinion query returned one unrelated docket-number/name collision; the other three required helper queries did not return results before the helper session ended, so litigation is not treated as a negative finding.

- Research performed 2026-10-03
- Limitations
- A failure to locate public documentation is not proof that asbestos was absent, that no person was exposed, or that no litigation exists. CourtListener coverage is incomplete and is separately preserved as an archival lead; this negative finding is limited to the public ship-material sources actually reviewed.

[5]Authenticated CourtListener helper sweep: exact-name opinion/docket and hull-number opinion/docket base queries, limit 20 [court_record]
- Locator
- Helper output retained in batch execution: completed opinion query result count 1; three requests emitted authenticated-request status but no result payload
- Finding type
- litigation_documented
- Finding
- The completed hull-number opinion query for 'PC-584' returned Iddings v. State, Indiana Court of Appeals No. 06A01-0812-PC-584 (2009), where PC-584 is part of an unrelated docket number: name collision, not ship or asbestos litigation. Exact-name opinion, exact-name docket, and hull-number docket requests were each initiated through the authenticated fleet helper but did not return a result payload in this session; no result classification is made for them.

- CourtListener search executed 2026-10-03
- Limitations
- This is an incomplete litigation sweep, not evidence that PC-584 was or was not named in asbestos litigation. The one returned result is unrelated. No asbestos-qualified variants were run because no base query returned a 20-result overflow.
