    Finding
    The live NavSource ship-history page identifies USS LSM-335 as an LSM-1-class landing ship medium laid down on 26 July 1944 at Pullman Standard Car Manufacturing Co., Chicago; launched 10 November 1944; commissioned 9 December 1944; assigned during World War II to LSM Flotilla Twelve, LSM Group Thirty-Five, and LSM Division Seventy; participating in the Okinawa Gunto operation from 17 April to 18 May 1945; decommissioned at Astoria, Oregon, on 7 May 1946; reactivated for MSTS on 27 June 1951; and placed in service as USNS T-LSM-335 on 15 August 1951. The page reports that the vessel provided cargo service in the Ryukyu Islands and resupplied USAF radar sites, but gives no date for later lay-up, striking, or final disposition.

    Limitations
    This live archival naval-history page supports the stated identity, chronology, assignment, and diesel specification, but is not a current NHHC DANFS page. It contains no asbestos, abatement, materials, individual-exposure, causation, later-lay-up-date, stricken-date, or final-disposition finding.

    Finding type
    vessel_history
    Finding
    The NHHC United States Pacific Fleet Organization dated 1 May 1945 lists LSM 335 in LSM Division 69, within LSM Group 35. A separate NHHC awards-manual entry lists LSM 335 under eligibility for the Korean Service Medal, with a service period of 6 October 1951 to 27 July 1954. These entries support the hull's documented wartime organization and postwar service period, not asbestos documentation.

    Limitations
    The official pages were located live through NHHC search results, but direct fetches timed out or returned a gateway error at research time. This row is retained as a bounded official-source verification lead; it does not establish construction particulars, crew complement, asbestos, individual exposure, causation, or legal eligibility.

    Finding
    No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazmat disclosure, or direct asbestos documentation was located in the accessible source set reviewed for USS LSM-335 / USNS T-LSM-335. Ship-specific asbestos exposure remains unknown.

    Limitations
    This bounded search result is not proof that asbestos was absent or that no undiscovered record exists. Firecrawl was quota-blocked, and no construction or later-maintenance file was retrieved from NARA. Diesel propulsion and 1944 construction were not used to infer asbestos aboard this hull. This row establishes neither exposure nor causation.

    Finding
    Authenticated CourtListener exact-name and exact-hull-number searches were attempted through the required helper for the supplied exact name 'USS Redesignated' and for 'LSM-335', but the fleet-wide pacing limiter did not return usable results before the helper's permitted wait elapsed. No asbestos-litigation result, other-litigation result, or name-collision result is asserted.

    Limitations
    The required authenticated helper, not an anonymous or raw API request, reported only its authenticated-request diagnostic before the execution window ended; its fleet limiter allows up to 60 seconds to acquire a shared token. This is an access gap, not a no-result finding. Qualifying asbestos litigation, other litigation, and name collisions remain unclassified.

    Finding type
    historical_record
    Finding
    Potential primary-source research locations, not retrieved in this batch: NARA Record Group 19 (Bureau of Ships) contains engineering and ship records; Record Group 24 (Bureau of Naval Personnel) contains deck logs and related Navy operational records. Those record-group descriptions identify possible routes to construction, alteration, and operational files for a numbered Navy hull, but do not establish that asbestos-specific files for LSM-335 exist.
