- Limitations
- The entry establishes the listed hull chronology and Navy designations; it does not provide an individual name, complement, propulsion details, asbestos information, decommissioning date, or post-transfer fate. The live page was discoverable through NHHC's site search but direct retrieval returned an access error in this session.

- Fleet organization table, SC 712 entry listing Lt. (jg) H. M. F. Lewis, USNR
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- The U.S. Pacific Fleet Organization dated 1945-05-01 includes an SC 712 entry and lists Lt. (jg) H. M. F. Lewis (USNR) as its commanding officer in one organization entry. This supports the vessel's continued designation as SC-712 before its 1945-08-20 redesignation as SCC-712.

- Heading and dated chronology lines for PC-712, SC-712, and SCC-712
- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- NavSource's current SC/SCC-712 page labels the vessel 'ex-PC-712' and states that it was commissioned as PC-712 on 1942-09-15 and reclassified SC-712 in April 1943. Those statements conflict with NHHC DANFS, which records SC-712 commissioned on 1942-09-14 and redesignated SCC-712 on 1945-08-20. The PC-712 history is not adopted; NHHC's hull-specific DANFS record controls this chronology.

- This row records a contradiction in the secondary archive page, not evidence that PC-712 existed as a separate PC-class vessel or a valid designation for this hull. The hull is recorded as USS SC-712 in NHHC DANFS.

- Finding
- NavSource's SC/SCC-712 page lists two commanding officers: LTJG Robert H. Gardiner, USNR, dated 1942-09-15, and LTJG Hugh H. P. Lewis, USNR, dated 1945. These entries are attributed to NavSource and are not used to set the commissioning date or resolve the Navy designation history.

- Limitations
- NavSource is a photographic archive rather than an official Navy record. The two officer entries are useful leads; DANFS remains the basis for the commissioned date and redesignation chronology.
