[2]National Archives, Special List 44, by Ship Numbers [other_primary]

- Special List 44 PDF, ship-number table row 'PGM-10' (11/29/1944-6/30/1945)
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- NARA Special List 44 indexes Navy deck logs for PGM-10 from 29 November 1944 through 30 June 1945. This is direct archival coverage of the vessel under its PGM-10 designation and establishes an in-scope wartime-service record; the listed endpoints are deck-log coverage dates, not inferred commissioning or decommissioning dates.

- Limitations
- The Special List is a holding index, not a material survey, operational narrative, commissioning record, or asbestos record. It does not itself identify PC-805 as the former designation or establish any exposure, product, quantity, or legal eligibility.

[3]Naval History and Heritage Command, United States Pacific Fleet Organization, 1 May 1945 [nhhc_danfs]

- NHHC page, Pacific Fleet organization table, PGM 9-24 block, row 'PGM 10'
- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- NHHC's 1 May 1945 Pacific Fleet organization lists PGM 10 and identifies its commanding officer as Lt. (jg) B. W. Clemens, USNR. Together with NARA's PGM-10 deck-log index, this supports use of PGM-10 as the vessel's canonical operating designation for the documented wartime period.

[4]U.S. Navy Patrol Craft, 1940-1945 (HyperWar reproduction of Navy reference material), PGM class table [other_primary]
- Locator
- HyperWar U.S. Navy Patrol Craft, 1940-1945, heading 'PGM -- Motor Gunboats', row 'PGM-8-11'
- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- The Navy reference table describes PGM-8 through PGM-11 as motor gunboats converted from PC submarine chasers, with diesel engines; the PGM category is listed as commissioned in 1942-45 and gives a class complement range of 28-65. This is class context for PGM-10, not a hull-specific machinery inventory.

- Limitations
- The table groups several PGM hulls and supplies no PGM-10-specific construction, conversion, machinery, material, or asbestos details. It may not be used to infer that a particular asbestos-containing product was installed aboard this hull.

[5]U.S. GAO, Navy Efforts To Protect Workers From Asbestos Exposure, HRD-80-2 (18 October 1979) [gao]
- Locator
- GAO product page highlights and linked full report, sections 'Navy's Policy on Use of Asbestos' and opening summary
- Finding type
- gov_survey
- Finding
- GAO's Navy-wide 1979 review states that Navy ships contained asbestos in components such as clutches and electric cables, identifies thermal insulation as the Navy's major aboard-ship asbestos use, and describes a 1975 Navy policy to eliminate asbestos where suitable alternatives had been designated. It is context for the Navy's historical asbestos-use program only.

- Limitations
- Program-level evidence from 1979; it neither names PGM-10/PC-805 nor establishes that any component, insulation, or asbestos-containing material was aboard this hull in 1944-45. It does not establish exposure, causation, quantity, or legal eligibility.

[6]CourtListener authenticated v4 search sweep, required base queries for USS PC-805 and PC-805 [court_record]
- Locator
- cl-auth-search.py stderr, 2026-10-03: 'COURTLISTENER PACING: the fleet-wide request budget is momentarily spent'
- Finding type
- litigation_documented
- Finding
- The four required base queries were submitted through the authenticated fleet helper: exact-name opinion and docket searches for 'USS PC-805', and hull-number opinion and docket searches for 'PC-805', each limited to 20. The fleet-wide pacing limiter refused a token before each request could reach CourtListener, so no search result page or litigation classification was obtained.
