- Finding
- DANFS identifies this hull as a 173-foot submarine chaser laid down at Portland, Oregon, by Commercial Iron Works on 14 August 1943; launched 25 September 1943; and commissioned 6 January 1945. It served along the U.S. Pacific coast during the rest of World War II, was redesignated PC(C)-802 after assignment to the Pacific Fleet Amphibious Force in August 1945, decommissioned in April 1946, stricken later that year, and transferred to the Republic of Korea in early 1950 as Sam Kak San (PC-703), remaining in Korean Navy service until 1960.

- Limitations
- This is a transcription of a Naval History Division/DANFS entry rather than a live NHHC page. It documents identity and service history, not asbestos-containing materials, occupational exposure, causation, or legal eligibility.

[4]Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Occupational Exposure to Asbestos, 59 Fed. Reg. 40964 (Aug. 10, 1994), shipbuilding and repairing discussion [federal_register]

- Section headed 'Shipbuilding and repairing -- historical contact with asbestos in shipyard work'
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- OSHA's 1994 shipyard asbestos rulemaking states that asbestos products were used extensively on American ships from the early 1940s through the late 1970s, including insulation of steam and hot-water pipes, boilers, and tanks; joiner bulkhead systems; ceiling tile; and fire-resistant sheets. It further states OSHA's belief that ships delivered before 1975 contain extensive asbestos insulation materials.

- Early 1940s-late 1970s (regulatory historical context)
- Population
- American shipbuilding, repair, and overhaul workers; not PC-802-specific
- Limitations
- This is a general regulatory historical statement, not a PC-461-class specification or hull survey. PC-802's 1945 delivery makes the statement relevant era context only; it does not prove that any listed material was installed aboard this hull, identify a product or quantity, establish exposure, causation, or legal eligibility.

[5]CourtListener API v4 authenticated helper, required base-query sweep (no result payload returned) [court_record]
- Locator
- Helper diagnostics: authenticated request, then no acquired fleet pacing token within the execution window; queries: "USS PC-802" (opinion/docket), "PC-802" (opinion/docket)
- Finding type
- litigation_documented
- Finding
- No CourtListener result is recorded. On 2026-10-03, the required authenticated base queries—exact-name opinion, exact-name docket, hull-number opinion, and hull-number docket, each limited to 20—were initiated through the mandated helper. Each was stopped at the helper's fleet-wide pacing-token acquisition window before an HTTP request/result set was returned.

- Limitations
- This is a blocked research attempt, not a negative litigation finding. No query result was returned, no hits could be classified, and no asbestos-qualified variants were run because no base query produced a 20-result overflow.
