[3]NavSource Submarine Chaser Photo Index (live page verified HTTP 200) [other_primary]
- Locator
- Index overview paragraphs 19-26; SC-748 index entry
- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- NavSource's index maps SC-748 to ex-PC-748 and explains the World War II designation change: the 110-foot wooden vessels received the SC symbol, while the 173-foot steel vessels retained PC; it separately identifies the PC-461 class as the 173-foot steel-hulled type. The canonical record is therefore SC-748 in the SC-497 class, not PC-461.

[6]Batch 8122 source and litigation search review [other_primary]

- search_ledger rows sl-uss-pc-748-pc748-01 through -04; source review gaps
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazardous-material disclosure, or qualifying asbestos litigation record naming SC-748/PC-748 was located in the retained source review. No asbestos product is documented aboard this hull in the public record reviewed.

- Limitations
- A negative public-record search does not prove that asbestos was absent. It does not resolve any individual exposure or legal eligibility question. The four required CourtListener base searches were made through the authenticated helper, but this headless wrapper retained diagnostics rather than the JSON result bodies; the ledger records that limitation. No asbestos-qualified variant was run because no high-collision 20-result overflow was established.
