- Finding
- Taiwan official museum record for this hull: Tainan City Government Cultural Affairs Bureau and Anping District Office pages identify the museum ship DDG-925 Te Yang as ex-USS Sarsfield DD-837, a Gearing-class destroyer completed 1945, transferred to the ROC Navy at Mayport, Florida on 1 October 1977 (received by a 107-man ROC crew), serving the ROCN for 28 years under 19 commanding officers; decommissioned at Kaohsiung 1 April 2005; formally moored at Anping Harbor 22 January 2009 as Taiwan's first warship museum; opened to the public 2011 (operator site). Operator site teyang925.com.tw records: Dec 1989 Wu-Chin III modernization - redesignated DDG-925; Dec 1994 Hsiung Feng II anti-ship missiles fitted; Oct 1997 assigned to the 131st Fleet; 2009-10 over a year of rust-removal/repainting before opening; Feb 2015 management assumed by the contracted operator (晴天專業行銷). The published restoration scope covers the exterior, rocket deck, flight deck, EW room, rudder room, signal station, chart room, torpedo room, telecom room, rocket control room and aircraft hangar - deck grinding, steel patching, rust removal, anti-rust coating and repainting - with no mention of asbestos.

The bureau pages' claim that the hull 'participated in the Korean War' is NOT corroborated by DANFS (Key West operational-development duty through 1950-53; one Vietnam battle star) - flagged in gaps. The English bureau page's 'decommissioned in 2009' conflates the 2005 ROCN decommissioning with the 2009 Anping mooring; the detailed Chinese pages carry 2005-04-01 decommission / 2009-01-22 mooring / 2011 public opening. The '1951 Truman visit' on the operator site is uncorroborated - not carried.

- Finding
- Litigation-recited class evidence relevant to this hull's design: the omnibus opinion in Goodrich v. Air & Liquid Systems Corp. recites that 'an engineering drawing for the insulation and lagging of forced draft blower turbines for the class of destroyers (DD 692, USS Allen M. Sumner class)' specifies 'amosite felts and asbestos cloths', and quotes an expert report estimating 'a partial tally of the weight of the asbestos-containing thermal insulation and lagging products in the fire ... and engine rooms of a ship belonging to the USS Allen M. Sumner (DD 692) and USS Gearing (DD 710) classes of destroyers is 30.3 tons.' DD-837 is a Gearing-class hull sharing the Sumner machinery design; the recital supports class/era inference only.

- Era/yard inference tied to documented hull events: (a) built Jan-Jul 1945 at Bath Iron Works, Bath ME at the peak Navy asbestos era - the Atlas yard record for Bath Iron Works documents Kaylo pipe covering, Foster Wheeler gaskets, asbestos felt, loose packing, vinyl floor tiles and adhesives at that yard, and a 1987 OSHA asbestos-standard citation with an 80% bulk-sample result; (b) a Gearing-class destroyer carries four Babcock & Wilcox superheated boilers and 60,000-shp GE geared steam turbines - period-standard insulated fit (boiler casing and fireroom insulation, steam-pipe lagging, turbine lagging, valve/flange gaskets and packing, fireproofing, deck coverings); (c) documented yard periods that would have disturbed era insulation under period practice - Brooklyn Navy Yard experimental-equipment installation Dec 1945; Norfolk Navy Yard overhaul 1957; Charleston Naval Shipyard overhauls fall 1958-Jan 1959 and Jan-Jun 1970 (Atlas yard record documents magnesia pipe insulation at 5-50% asbestos, boiler external coatings at 15% asbestos, asbestos gaskets in pumps/valves, and dry-dock fiber measurements to 70 f/cc); Boston Naval Shipyard FRAM Aug 1962-Jun 1963 (the class's documented modernization program; Atlas yard record documents John Crane gasket/sealing litigation) - plus the 1966-67 overhaul at an unstated yard.

- Finding type

- Finding
- GAO documented the Navy's asbestos-protection program: standing policy (1975) removed asbestos insulation only when damaged or required for repairs, modified 1979 to selective replacement in high-maintenance areas. DD-837 left U.S. service 1 October 1977 - after the 1975 policy began but before the 1979 modification - so original-era and FRAM-era materials would ordinarily have remained unless disturbed by maintenance or the documented yard periods, and no U.S.-program survey of this hull under the modified regime is expected.

- Qualifying asbestos litigation naming this hull, at the least-final stage (pleading allegation only): Mullis v. Armstrong International, Inc. et al., No. 1:12-cv-00459-CCE-JEP (N.C. Middle, filed 2012-05-10 - asbestos PI, 28:1332 diversity; plaintiff Carolyn Mullis, individually and as executrix of the estate of Ronald Max Mullis, deceased; ~40 defendants incl. Armstrong International, Crane Co., Crown Cork & Seal, General Electric, John Crane, IMO Industries/Delaval Turbine). The complaint's Schedule I 'Decedent-Worker Employment History / Asbestos Exposure Worksite Information' lists: occupation 'Fireman, Machinist Mate, Mechanic'; employer/worksite 'U.S. Navy - USS Sarsfield (DD/EDD 837)' with approximate dates 1956-1962; and a product list including 'Block Insulation, Cement, Pipecovering, Gaskets and Packing, Steam Traps, Turbines, Air Compressors, Pumps, Valves, Air Ejectors, Force-draft Blowers, Marinite, Micarta Board, Transmissions, Engines, Turbines, Exhausters, Clutches, Brakes, and other asbestos-containing materials.' The complaint alleges the decedent developed mesothelioma. Hull attribution is explicit - the schedule prints both name and hull number 'DD/EDD 837'. The 1956-1962 alleged window overlaps this hull's documented Norfolk NSY overhaul (1957) and Charleston NSY overhaul (1958-59). Document verified by OCR of the scanned schedule page.

Deck logs corroborate dates/places used in exposure reconstruction (yard periods, underway periods, crew assignments). The companion pre-1947 index (Special List #44 by ship number) contains no DD-837 entry - DD coverage in that index is sparse (five hulls: DD-596, DD-658, DD-797, DD-935, DD-939).

The sole ship-named asbestos record is the Mullis complaint schedule - a pleading allegation (ev-09). The surviving hull is a Taiwan museum ship whose published restoration narrative (2009-15 rust removal, deck repair, patching, repainting) does not mention asbestos; no Taiwan-side ACM survey or abatement disclosure was located.

- Limitations
- Absence of a located public record does not prove absence of asbestos aboard - a 1945-built steam destroyer is era-consistent with extensive ACM, and the class-drawing recital (ev-05) supports that expectation at class level. The hull survives as a museum at Anping, so present-day ACM status is a live question that no located source answers. CourtListener coverage was fleet-paced this pass - the 'EDD-837' variant queries were blocked (pending); RECAP indexing of older dockets is incomplete, so 'no further qualifying litigation' is a bounded negative. Does not establish presence or absence; does not establish or defeat any exposure claim or legal eligibility.
