- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- NavSource identifies one hull as PC-746 and then SC-746, with SC-497 Class Submarine Chaser designation, April 1943 reclassification, 1946-03-20 strike from the Naval Register, 1948-04-30 transfer to the State Department Foreign Liquidation Commission, and unknown fate. It also identifies the craft as a 110-foot wooden-hull submarine chaser rather than the separate 173-foot steel-hull type.

- Finding type

- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement contract, hazmat disclosure, or qualifying asbestos-litigation finding naming PC-746/SC-746 was established in the sources reviewed. Asbestos documentation for this hull remains unknown.

- Limitations
- This is a negative public-record result, not proof that asbestos was absent. Three of the four required CourtListener base queries were stopped by the authenticated fleet pacing limiter; the fourth (`PC-746`, docket) overflowed with high-collision results and its full 20-hit payload was not retained for row-level classification. No asbestos-qualified variant was run because the sweep was incomplete and the fleet budget was spent.
