   Official DANFS record for this hull: Admirable-class minesweeper (dp. 945; l. 184'6"; b. 33'0"; dr. 9'9"; s. 14 k.; cpl. 104; a. 1 3", 4 40mm., 6 20mm., 2 dcp., 1 dct., 1 dcp. (hh.)). The first Recruit (AM-285) laid down by General Engineering & Dry Dock Co., Alameda, Calif., 24 May 1943; launched 11 December 1943, sponsored by Miss Kathleen Merrit Jackson; commissioned 8 November 1944, Lt. Comdr. Chester A. Bowes in command. Shakedown off San Pedro; departed 5 January 1945 for Pearl Harbor; escorted two convoys to Eniwetok, proceeding with the second to Ulithi (arrived 9 March). Departed Ulithi with TG 52.5 for Okinawa; clearance sweeps south of Tokashiki Island, Kerama Retto, 24-27 March; pre-invasion sweep off the western beaches; operated north of Ie Shima. On 6 April off northern Okinawa fought off several aerial attacks, splashing three planes, and rescued crewmen from Rodman (DMS-21) and Emmons (DMS-22), damaged by kamikazes; April closed with clearance sweeps in Kerama Retto and Tonachi Shima. Retired to Ulithi 4 May; returned to Okinawa 4 June for transport-area screening and antisubmarine patrol off Zampa Misaki. On 4 July took part in the 50-ship 'Juneau' sweep of the East China Sea - one of the largest sweeping operations undertaken in Pacific waters - sweeping 15 mines; August 'Skagway' area sweep, northern East China Sea, 15 more mines. After capitulation, departed Okinawa 31 August with TU 95.4.31 for Tsugaru Strait; swept a channel into Mutsu Kaiwan; anchored Ominato Ko 8 September with the North Pacific Force; swept Tsugaru until 20 October. Sailed with TU 56.4.1 to Sasebo (arrived 26 October); 3 November to Hiro Wan, Honshu, pilot vessel between Hiro Wan and Kure Ko for the remainder of the month; returned to Sasebo 1 December; underway for the United States 28 December. San Pedro 15 February 1946 via Saipan and Pearl Harbor; transited Canal Zone 24 March; Orange, Texas, 3 April; decommissioned 15 August 1946. Reclassified MSF-285 7 February 1955; moved 29 May 1958 to Green Cove Springs, Fla.; struck from the Navy list 1 May 1962. Three battle stars for World War II service.

   Finding

   Era/design inference: this hull is a 1943-44-built steel Admirable-class minesweeper with a diesel direct-drive twin-screw plant (two Cooper Bessemer GSB-8 diesels, National Supply Co. single reduction gear) - no boilers, no steam distribution. Its insulation load was materially lighter than a steam combatant's, but machinery and construction materials of the 1943-44 wartime era were commonly asbestos-containing: exhaust-system and muffler lagging, machinery gaskets and packing, electrical-cable insulation, accommodation/galley joiner insulation, winch and windlass brake linings, and deck compositions of the period. Exposure-relevant populations if any material was present: General Engineering & Dry Dock construction trades (Alameda, 1943-44); the wartime U.S. crew (design complement ~104) across the Okinawa campaign - including the 6 April 1945 air attacks and the Rodman/Emmons rescue - and the post-surrender Tsugaru Strait and Sasebo-area occupation sweeping, her most machinery-intensive phase (sweep-gear winches, sustained engine hours); reserve-fleet berthing/reactivation-survey work parties at Orange (1946-58) and Green Cove Springs (1958-62); and the undocumented Mexican crew and yard population of 1963-ca.1970.

No survey, specification, or material schedule naming AM-285 was located; establishes no asbestos content, quantity, location, condition, individual exposure, or causation. The diesel (non-steam) plant makes even era-level inference weaker than for steam vessels of the same era. Mexican-service maintenance and the hull's disposal are undocumented in located sources.

Non-authoritative marketing rosters (mesothelioma.com minesweeper jobsites page: 'USS Recruit | AM-285 | Admirable | 11/8/1944 | To Mexico, 1963'; mesotheliomahelp.org minesweeper list) carry the name in generic ship tables - excluded per source rules; they carry no hull-specific evidence.

   Limitations

   Absence of a located public record does not prove absence of asbestos aboard - a 1943-44-built vessel is era-consistent with asbestos-containing materials even accounting for its lighter diesel insulation load. The hull went to Mexico and its fate is undocumented, so no present-day survey pathway exists; Mexican-era records are inaccessible. The CourtListener opinion/docket sweep is incomplete (quota exhaustion) - residual risk that a differently-phrased hull reference exists is logged as a gap. Does not establish presence or absence; does not establish or defeat any exposure claim or legal eligibility.

(c) Displacement - 945 t fl (DANFS/NavSource) vs 850 t (Colton) vs 650 long tons (Wikipedia) vs 625 t (HyperWar class block) - DANFS carried; basis (standard/light/full) unresolved. (d) Speed - 14 kts (DANFS) vs 14.8 (NavSource) vs 15 (HyperWar/Wikipedia) - DANFS carried. (e) Mexico transfer year - 'To Mexico 1962' (Colton) vs 1963 (Wikipedia citing Miramar 6120010; seaforces '63-70') - both post-date the 1 May 1962 striking; flagged rather than merged. NavSource omits the transfer entirely ('Fate unknown'). (f) Mexican name - ARM DM-07 pennant corroborated (navypedia, seaforces, Wikipedia); no proper name documented (seaforces '(not named)'; Wikipedia Mexican-ship list 'unknown'). (g) CO list - NavSource: Bowes to 18 Jan 1945, Hankinson 18 Jan - 10 Jun 1945, Talmage 9 Nov 1945 - 15 Aug 1946; uboat.net: Bowes to 18 Jan 1945, Claude L. Henley 18 Jan - 10 Jun 1945, Hankinson 10 Jun - 8 Nov 1945 (uboat covers WWII only) - NavSource appears to drop Henley and slide Hankinson; discrepancy flagged, unresolved. (h) Builder name - HyperWar per-hull page reads 'General Shipbuilding Co.' - a name error; all other sources and the yard's own history read General Engineering & Dry Dock Co. (i) Armament - DANFS '1 3", 4 40mm., 6 20mm., 2 dcp., 1 dct., 1 dcp.

(j) Ordered date - uboat.net alone carries '2 May 1942.' (k) 'The first Recruit' per DANFS despite the commissioned 1917 Union Square landship of the same name - DANFS numbering quirk noted; the San Diego trainer TDE-1/TFFG-1 is a third, later namesake.
