    Finding type
    historical_record
    Finding
    The ship-specific NHHC DANFS entry reviewed for SC-648 contains no asbestos, hazardous-material, or abatement information. No primary-source ship-specific asbestos record was located in the accessible official source set reviewed for this draft; asbestos documentation for this hull therefore remains unknown.

    Limitations
    A DANFS entry's silence and this limited source review do not establish that asbestos was absent or that no records exist. The litigation search was incomplete because the authenticated CourtListener fleet limiter required stand-down; archival and hazmat searches also remain incomplete because Firecrawl was unavailable.

    Class-level classification, not a separate SC-648 construction or material record. The page gives class characteristics but does not document asbestos aboard SC-648.

    Limitations
    This is an archived copy of the official NHHC DANFS page because the live page returned HTTP 404 on 2026-10-03. It identifies the vessel by hull designation and documents service milestones only; it does not discuss asbestos, crew complement, or subsequent Chinese service/disposition.
