    Limitations
    The live NHHC URL returned 404 on 2026-10-03, so this citation is explicitly an archived Wayback capture. DANFS states commissioned 1 May 1942; it does not support the 15 April 1942 delivery date given in the batch scope. It does not document asbestos, operational events, or crew size.

    Finding
    NHHC’s SC-497 class grouping includes SC-522 and gives class characteristics of two Diesel engines and two screws. These are class-level characteristics and do not verify SC-522’s installed machinery.

    Class-level only: the source does not say which engine horsepower variant, materials, or machinery were aboard SC-522. Not used to infer asbestos presence or exposure. Archived because the live NHHC URL is unavailable.

    Finding
    NARA Special List 44 indexes logbooks under PC-522 (SC-522) for 1 May–1 August 1942 and under SC-522 for 1 August 1942–29 February 1944 and 1 April–26 September 1944.

    Limitations
    This is a finding aid, not the logbooks themselves; it establishes indexed holdings and date spans, not specific service events. “PC-522 (SC-522)” is NARA’s catalog cross-reference and is not treated here as proof that the vessel served as a PC-class craft.

    Limitations
    A bounded negative finding about these two reviewed references only; neither is a comprehensive asbestos survey. It does not establish absence of asbestos aboard or absence of records elsewhere.
