- Finding
- DANFS records: 'SC-741 Built at Julius Petersen, Nyack, N.Y. Keel laid 4/1/42. Launched 8/3/42. Commissioned 12/15/42. Transferred to Foreign Liquidation Commission 8/2/46.'

- Population
- Julius Petersen construction trades (1942); U.S. Navy crew (1942-46)
- Limitations
- This one-line ship-specific entry establishes the listed milestones and transfer only. It supplies no crew figure, service narrative, final disposition, asbestos information, material list, survey, or exposure finding. The canonical URL was unavailable at direct verification and Wayback retrieval did not complete, so this is an access gap rather than a live citation.

[4]NavSource Online, Submarine Chaser Photo Archive, 110-foot SC class introduction and SC-497 roster (live index verified 2026-10-03) [other_primary]
- Locator
- NavSource 12/01idx.htm, class-introduction paragraphs and SC-497-class roster row 'SC-741 ex-PC-741'
- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- NavSource explains that the WWII 110-foot wooden-hulled chasers were separated from the 173-foot steel type in 1943: PC remained the symbol for the steel craft and SC was adopted for the 110-foot vessels. Its SC-497-class roster lists 'SC-741 ex-PC-741.' This supports retaining one vessel under canonical SC-741 rather than treating PC-741 as a 173-foot steel patrol craft.

- Limitations
- NavSource is a volunteer archival compilation, not an official registry. Its class explanation and roster support the designation/class correction; they do not establish an asbestos condition, machinery specification, quantity, or material installed aboard this hull.

[5]GAO, Navy Efforts To Protect Workers From Asbestos Exposure, HRD-80-2 (18 October 1979), pp. 1-2 [gao]
- Locator
- PDF pp. 1-2, introductory discussion and 'Navy's Policy on Use of Asbestos'
- Finding type
- gov_survey
- Finding
- GAO reported that, according to the Navy, all ships contained some asbestos in components such as clutches and electric cables, and that thermal insulation had been the Navy's major shipboard asbestos use. GAO's review concerned Navy asbestos policy and worker protection at Long Beach and Norfolk Naval Shipyards.

- Population
- Navy shipyard workers and Navy ships reviewed at program level
- Limitations
- Navy-wide 1979 program context, not a contemporaneous SC-741 survey or a finding about this hull. It cannot establish that any stated component or thermal insulation was installed, retained, disturbed, or asbestos-containing aboard SC-741, and it does not establish individual exposure or causation.

[6]Batch-8115 search ledger for USS SC-741 / PC-741: DANFS, NARA Special List 44, NARA submarine-chaser archival context, GAO HRD-80-2, NavSource designation index, CourtListener API v4 helper, and authoritative-source web sweep [other_primary]
- Locator
- search_ledger rows sl-uss-pc-741-pc741-01 through sl-uss-pc-741-pc741-08
- Finding type
- litigation_documented
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos documentation was located in the public sources searched: no asbestos survey, abatement record, hazmat disclosure, material list, or qualifying asbestos litigation naming SC-741 or PC-741. CourtListener is an access gap, not a negative result: the required authenticated sweep could not begin because the fleet-wide pacing helper returned a stand-down before the first request completed; all four base-query rows are logged as blocked.

- Limitations
- A missing located public record does not prove that asbestos was absent, nor does it establish or defeat exposure, causation, legal eligibility, or a claim. The CourtListener blocked status means litigation remains unsearched in that source and must not be restated as a no-result finding.
