- Study period
- 1945-1959 (archive group dates)
- Limitations
- This establishes the archival identification of Spahi as former PC 591; the finding aid does not state the transfer date, operational history, later fate, or any asbestos information. The PDF search result was available, but direct full-page retrieval timed out during this research session.

- Research performed 2026-10-03
- Limitations
- This is a bounded search result, not evidence that asbestos was absent. CourtListener searching stopped after its fleet-wide pacing limiter declined the first two authenticated requests; the hull-number queries were not sent. Firecrawl searches could not run because the MCP keyless quota was exhausted. No class-based asbestos inference is made.
