    vessel_history
    Finding
    The NHHC DANFS roster for SC-601 through SC-700 identifies SC-679 as built by Thomas Knutson Shipbuilding Corp., Halesite, Long Island; keel laid 4 March 1942; launched 29 August 1942; commissioned 19 December 1942; and transferred to Indo-China on 14 March 1951.

    Limitations
    The archived DANFS entry supports the recorded hull history and the listed transfer to Indo-China. The live NHHC URL returned 404 at research time. The transfer account conflicts with NavSource's later Spanish-service history. Its launch date also conflicts with NavSource's date. This history does not document asbestos or establish the vessel's actual condition after transfer.

    NARA Special List #44, an index of ship logbooks, lists SC-679 with a begin date of 12/19/1942 and an end date of 6/30/1945. The start date corroborates the NHHC DANFS commissioning date; the end date records the span of listed logbooks only.

    The table is a logbook coverage index; 6/30/1945 is not identified as a decommissioning, transfer, or service-end date. It says nothing about materials aboard.

    vessel_history
    Finding
    NavSource's SC-679 page identifies the vessel as ex-PC-679, calls it an SC-497 Class Submarine Chaser, states that it was commissioned as USS PC-679 on 19 December 1942 and reclassified SC-679 in April 1943, and reports transfer to Spain in 1956, service as Candido Perez (W 11), striking in 1974, and scrapping in 1975. Its launch date (20 August 1942) conflicts with DANFS (29 August 1942).

    NavSource is an archival reference, not the Navy's official ship register. Its postwar Spanish disposition conflicts with the DANFS entry reporting transfer to Indo-China in 1951. It does not document asbestos.

    The NHHC page is an archived capture because its live URL returned 404. The classification evidence is not ship-specific asbestos evidence and does not establish any asbestos product, installation, or exposure aboard SC-679.

    NavSource's Submarine Chaser Photo Index labels the SC entries as 110-foot wooden-hull submarine chasers. This is class/type background consistent with retaining the SC-497-class 110-foot wooden submarine chaser classification for SC-679.

    Finding type
    historical_record
    Finding
    The cited ship-history sources did not produce a verifiable ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, material inventory, or exposure finding for SC-679. The CourtListener review was interrupted by result-output loss and the fleet pacing limiter, so litigation review remains incomplete.

    Limitations
    A failure to locate a record is not proof that asbestos was absent. CourtListener hit-by-hit review is incomplete: the exact-name opinion output was not retained, the exact-name docket was an unreviewed overflow result set, and the two hull-number requests were blocked before submission. No asbestos-qualified variant was run.
