    Finding
    Official Brazilian Navy histórico for this hull (4 pp.): 'Caça-Submarino da classe "G" (ex-USS PATROL CRAFT 605), quarto de uma série de oito (Guaporé, Gurupi, Guaíba, Goiana, Guajará, Grajaú e Graúna)'; keel laid at 'Estaleiros Luders Marine Construction Co., Stanford, Connecticut' [sic - Stamford] on 26 April 1942, launched 15 November 1942 (both dates conflict with U.S. sources - see gaps); 'cedido ao Brasil após entendimentos entre o Governo brasileiro e o Governo estadunidense, sendo entregue no dia 11 de junho de 1943 e incorporado à Marinha do Brasil em 14 de junho de 1943, pelo Aviso Ministerial no 1.137, com indicativo visual G4.' First Brazilian Navy ship named Gurupá (for the river on the right bank of the Amazon; Tupi-Guarani 'o lugar da roça, sítio de plantação'). Construction detail: 3/16-inch steel plate, longitudinal framing, transverse bulkheads, 19 watertight compartments, heated habitable compartments; 403t full/403t normal/275t light; 52.765m x 7.015m. Outfit: two GM 16-258-S diesels total 3,600 HP, two bronze three-blade 80-inch propellers, 20 kt; 76mm/50 + 40mm Bofors + three 20mm Oerlikon Mk4, four single depth-charge mortars, two 300-lb charge racks (8 each), two double rocket launchers; Sperry gyrocompass, Bludworth N-J-8 echo sounder, degaussing gear, QCT submarine-listening device, Western Electric surface-search radar; auxiliary machinery includes a caldeira auxiliar (80 psi, naphtha-fired) and a medium-pressure evaporator (2,800 l/hr); 4 officers + 60 ratings. Records that she 'escorted various convoys during the Second World War' plus exercises/training - no convoy named for this hull. 'No dia 12 de dezembro de 1951, em cumprimento ao Aviso Ministerial no 3.033 foi realizada a Mostra de Desarmamento' - official baixa 12 December 1951 after six years of active service totaling 104,225 miles and 369.5 days at sea.

    Official national-navy historical record for the Brazilian era - says nothing about the U.S. Navy period beyond construction/delivery, and nothing about materials or asbestos. Conflicts with secondary sources on keel (26 Apr 1942 vs 20 Mar), launch (15 Nov 1942 vs 19 Nov), displacement (403/275t vs 280/450t), power ('3.600HP total' vs 'two 2,880bhp'), and complement (64 vs 65) - carried in gaps. Post-baixa disposal not stated; 'scrapped 1952' rests on secondary sourcing. Prints the yard town as 'Stanford' (error - Luders Marine was in Stamford).

    NavSource is a volunteer secondary compilation, not a primary registry - its milestone spine agrees with uboat.net, shipbuildinghistory, NGB, and the DPHDM histórico, but its keel/launch dates (20 Mar, 19 Nov) conflict with DPHDM (26 Apr, 15 Nov) and its 'Scrapped in 1952' is undetailed vs the official 12 Dec 1951 baixa - carried in gaps. Contains no asbestos content. The Jamestown war-bond plaque inscription's attachment (to PC-605 vs the newly launched PC-1213) is not resolved by the caption.

    uboat.net is a specialist secondary compilation; milestones corroborate NavSource/shipbuildinghistory/NGB but the order date and CO roster are not independently confirmed against primary documents. Its Brazilian file's '24 Mar 1942' keel date conflicts with both NavSource (20 Mar) and DPHDM (26 Apr); its 'Decommissioned in 1952' postdates the official 12 Dec 1951 baixa. No asbestos content.

Yard context: Luders Marine Construction was founded by Alfred E. Luders in 1908 in Byram CT, moved 1912 to Harbor Drive in Stamford Harbor; known for custom-built yachts, a major contributor to the war effort; closed 1968 (site now Brewer Yacht Haven Marina). Sister rows: SC 604 delivered 9-Mar-43 'To Brazil 1943 as Guaibá (G 3), scrapped 1952'; SC 607 delivered 27-Aug-43 'To Brazil 1943 as Guajará (G 5)'; SC 606 retained by USN (later named Andrews, scrapped 1957).

    asbestos_application
    Finding
    A steel-hulled, diesel-engined patrol craft built in 1942 sits inside the documented Navy asbestos-use era. As a diesel vessel she carried no propulsion boilers or steam plant - the boiler/turbine lagging pathway of steam combatants does not apply. However, the DPHDM outfit record documents an auxiliary boiler (80 psi, naphtha-fired) and a medium-pressure evaporator aboard in Brazilian service, so a small auxiliary-steam lagging pathway cannot be excluded. Era-standard applications for a patrol craft of this type and period: diesel engine and exhaust insulation/lagging in confined machinery spaces, machinery gaskets and valve/flange packing, electrical insulation, and compartment insulation where fitted - in a small 173-ft steel hull with confined below-deck spaces.

    Limitations
    Archival lead only: photographs establish physical presence and the documented events (pre-commissioning, Miami turnover, Brazilian service) - not what work or materials were aboard. The NARA catalog is JS-rendered and the 19-N-47911 item record could not be fetched directly (identifier transcribed via NavSource caption); the Jamestown war-bond inscription's attachment to PC-605 vs the newly launched PC-1213 is ambiguous in the caption and unresolved. No asbestos content.

    Finding
    No qualifying ship-specific asbestos record located: no asbestos survey, abatement contract, hazmat disclosure, or verified litigation naming USS PC-605 / Gurupá / G-4 was found in the public sources searched (see search_ledger). General-web sweeps surfaced only the standard reference sources; the only 'asbestos' material naming the builder is law-firm marketing content ('Luders Marine Construction' on Connecticut jobsite listicles - mesothelioma.com, swmwlaw.com, sokolovelaw.com, respectforyou.com) asserting exposure without primary sourcing - excluded by source policy. CAVEAT: none of the four required CourtListener base queries executed this session - all attempts hit the helper-enforced fleet pacing cap (~58/hr shared, exit 2); logged as blocked, not a negative result.

    Limitations
    Absence of a located public record does not prove absence of asbestos aboard. The litigation repository search is a genuine open gap (paced, not run). RG 24 deck logs (14-day U.S. period), Luders Marine work packages, and Brazilian Arsenal de Marinha work records are undigitized open leads. Does not establish or defeat any claim of exposure or legal eligibility.
