- Limitations
- The list corroborates commission and activity dates but does not identify a final fate, asbestos materials, or exposure. The 7/31/1945 date is not treated as a decommissioning date because the document does not label it that way.

[4]U.S. GAO, Navy Efforts To Protect Workers From Asbestos Exposure, HRD-80-2 (1979) [gao]
- Locator
- Highlights and full-report text, pp. 1-2
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- GAO reported that Navy ships used asbestos in several applications and that thermal insulation for machinery, equipment, and piping was the major application; it also identified piping gaskets and packing, deck materials, and equipment brakes and clutches as uses. This is Navy-wide era context, not proof that any listed product was installed aboard SC-652.

[5]Batch-8026 source and litigation sweep ledger [other_primary]
- Locator
- search_ledger rows sl-uss-sc-652-sc652-01 through -04
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No qualifying ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazardous-material disclosure, or authoritative asbestos litigation record naming SC-652 was located in the sources reviewed. The required four CourtListener base queries were submitted through the authenticated helper but did not return payloads before the shared pacing hold ended; therefore litigation status remains unresolved rather than a negative result.

- Role
- negative_finding
- Documentation level
- ship_specific
- Accessed
- 2026-10-03
- Limitations
- A failure to locate a public record does not prove absence of asbestos aboard. CourtListener classification is incomplete because the helper's fleet-wide limiter did not release results during this run; no asbestos variant was run because no base-query overflow was established.
