[3]DANFS Haskell-class context + GAO HRD-80-2 era documentation (see ev-03) [nhhc_danfs]
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- Haskell-class attack transports were built 1944-45 under wartime Navy insulation specifications; steam propulsion plants and associated piping of the era were routinely lagged and gasketed with asbestos-containing materials, and boiler/fireroom insulation, steam-line lagging, and bulkhead materials were standard era applications.

- Documentation level
- class_or_era
- Limitations
- Class/era inference only - no hull-specific insulation survey located for APA-232. Names the era standard, not confirmed installed materials on this hull; does not establish exposure for any individual.

[5]CourtListener API v4 opinion search, authenticated, 2026-09-25 (attempted; paced out) [court_record]
- Finding type
- litigation_documented
- Finding
- CourtListener opinion search for "USS San Saba" APA-232 could not be completed: the authenticated helper reported the fleet-wide request budget was spent (paced ~114/hr against the 2,800/day account quota). No results were retrieved. No qualifying asbestos litigation is known for this hull, but the litigation sweep is incomplete.
- Verification

- Role
- negative_finding
- Documentation level
- ship_specific
- Limitations
- Search not completed due to fleet-wide CourtListener budget pacing. Retry after budget refresh; do not treat as a confirmed negative.
