- This is an index of logbook coverage, not the deck logs themselves. It supports only the dates of listed log coverage; it does not independently establish commissioning, decommissioning, construction, operations, asbestos presence, or exposure.

- Limitations
- A bounded search result, not proof that asbestos was absent. The NARA index identifies log coverage but the underlying logs were not reviewed for this record. CourtListener searches were blocked by fleet pacing, Firecrawl was unavailable due exhausted keyless quota, and the official NAVSEA history PDF returned HTTP 403. No asbestos exposure or lack of exposure is established.
