[2]Naval History and Heritage Command, Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, 'SC-701 - SC-800,' entry for SC-711 (archived 2023-09-24; live canonical URL returned 404 on 2026-10-03) [nhhc_danfs]

- NHHC DANFS 'SC-701 - SC-800,' SC-711 entry
- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- NHHC identifies the vessel as SC-711, built by Dooley's Basin & Drydock Co., Fort Lauderdale, Florida; keel laid 8 April 1942; launched 17 October 1942; commissioned 2 January 1943; and transferred to the Coast Guard 9 October 1945. This corrects the rejected patrol-craft designation: the authoritative entry calls the hull SC-711 and does not identify it as a PC vessel.

- Limitations
- Navy-wide historical context only. It does not name SC-711, its builder, a sister hull, a system, an asbestos product, a quantity, an exposure event, or a present material condition; it must not be read as proof that asbestos was aboard this hull.

- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- NARA identifies RG 19 ship engineering drawings ('Hull Series'), arranged by ship hull number and Ship Material Group, and several Bureau of Ships specifications series as research paths for documenting asbestos aboard a particular naval vessel. SC-711-specific drawings or specifications were not retrieved in this research pass.

- Finding
- The Coast Guard Historian's Office describes the Air Class as 70 Navy SC-497-class patrol boats transferred for air-sea-rescue duties and includes Air Jay in its transferred-cutter list. Combined with the Coast Guard patrol-craft list identifying Air Jay as ex-SC-711, this supports recording SC-711 as an SC-497-class submarine chaser.

[8]Batch-8085 search ledger (this record): NHHC DANFS; NARA Special List 44; U.S. Coast Guard Historian's Office patrol-craft list and muster-roll finding aid; NARA asbestos research guide; NIOSH historical context; authenticated CourtListener helper attempts [other_primary]
- Locator
- search_ledger rows sl-uss-sc-711-sc711-01 through sl-uss-sc-711-sc711-08
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos product, survey, abatement record, material inventory, or qualifying litigation record was located in the completed source review. The four required CourtListener base searches did not return results because the authenticated helper could not acquire a fleet pacing token before this execution environment ended each request; they are recorded as blocked, not as no-result searches.
