[2]National Archives, Special List #44, by Ship Numbers (Navy logbooks listing) [other_primary]

- PDF p.72, PC-776 row
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- The National Archives logbook list contains an entry for PC-776 covering 28 March 1943 through 30 June 1945. This establishes the existence and date span of listed logbooks for the hull number; the list does not itself state a commissioning date or describe the ship’s asbestos-containing materials.

- Study period
- 1943-03-28 to 1945-06-30 (logbook listing coverage)
- Limitations
- This finding concerns the archival coverage dates only. It is not evidence that the ship was commissioned on the first date, and it establishes nothing about asbestos, exposure, service events, builder, or final disposition.

[3]Research-scope negative finding: official-source search and litigation sweep status recorded in the attached search ledger [other_primary]
- Locator
- See search_ledger and batch report
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazardous-material disclosure, or adjudicated asbestos-exposure finding was verified during this research. The CourtListener search was not completed: the authenticated fleet helper blocked all four base-query attempts under its pacing guard before API requests were made.

- Accessed

- Limitations
- A research-scope result, not proof that no records or litigation exist. CourtListener results are unknown, not negative; the queries must be rerun when fleet pacing permits. Firecrawl was unavailable because the keyless MCP quota reported a 67,563-second reset.
