- award paragraph and quoted citation following SC-676 service narrative
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- The same official Bass biography identifies the award associated with his SC-676 command as the Navy Commendation Medal with Combat 'V' for offensive operations in the Adriatic Sea from 3 June to 12 July 1944; its quoted citation describes covering the evacuation of Allied and Partisan forces from Brac and repelling an enemy air attack. It does not describe a Navy Cross.

- Limitations
- The source attributes this award to Bass and his command period, not to every crew member or to the vessel as a unit award; it contains no asbestos information. It is used to correct, rather than repeat, the unverified Navy Cross intake lead.

- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- NHHC's SC-497 class characteristics identify a 100-foot submarine chaser with two diesel engines and two screws, 3 officers and 25 enlisted accommodations, and possible 1,540-hp/21-knot or 800-hp/15.6-knot installations. This is class/design context for SC-676's diesel character only; no asbestos application is documented for this hull.

- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No qualifying ship-specific asbestos record was located in the non-CourtListener authoritative sources reviewed: no public survey, abatement record, environmental disclosure, or official archive item identifying asbestos aboard SC-676 was found. The completed CourtListener exact-name opinion base query returned zero results; the remaining required base queries were blocked by the authenticated fleet-pacing helper before reaching the API.

- Limitations
- This is a limited negative research result, not proof that asbestos was absent or that no litigation exists. Only one of four required CourtListener base queries completed; the litigation sweep is incomplete and must not be treated as a completed negative result.
