- Ship-history milestones only. The DANFS entry does not establish asbestos-containing materials, exposure, later disposal, or the ship's operational assignments. It records the designation SC-714 and does not establish a PC-714 designation.

- Finding type

- Limitations
- The page is class-level and lists Air Kestrel without linking that name to SC-714 or WAVR-432. It cannot establish SC-714-specific service, configuration, asbestos content, or exposure.

[4]James T. Flynn, Jr., U.S. Coast Guard Patrol Craft - Major Classes, Part 2, table 'Coast Guard 110-foot Submarine Chasers' (official U.S. Coast Guard hosted PDF) [other_primary]
- Locator
- PDF page 31, WAVR 432 table row
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- Flynn's table lists WAVR 432, Air Kestral [sic], ex. SC-714, Coast Guard service date 1 December 1945, and 'Sold 19Jan1948.' This matches the SC-714-to-Coast-Guard transfer date in DANFS. The source spells the cutter name 'Kestral'; the Coast Guard Historian's Office spells it 'Kestrel.'

- SC-714 / WAVR-432
- Limitations
- Flynn's compiled historical catalog is a secondary finding aid hosted on a federal site, not a contemporaneous transfer or sale instrument. It supports the cross-reference and listed dates, but not asbestos content, subsequent fate, or any exposure. Name spelling differs between this table and the Coast Guard page.

[5]NHHC DANFS SC-701 - SC-800, entry SC-714; batch scope correction based on the PC-461 enumeration review supplied with this assignment [nhhc_danfs]
- Locator
- DANFS SC-714 entry; re-scope instruction dated 2026-09-29 supplied in batch prompt
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- Identity correction for this record: the vessel is SC-714, a submarine chaser, and the U.S. service name/designation carried here is SC-714. The supplied scope review states that PC-714 was not an assigned PC vessel number: PC-461 class enumeration ended at 341 completed and 60 cancelled hulls, and PC-679 through PC-720 were not assigned. This record therefore does not use 'USS PC-714' as an alias or hull designation.

- Limitations
- The PC-461 enumeration rationale is supplied by the batch's re-scope instruction and is not independently documented by the cited DANFS entry. DANFS supports SC-714 identity and history, but does not itself prove the negative enumeration finding. This row corrects record scope; it is not asbestos evidence.

[6]Batch 8088 public-source review and CourtListener helper attempts; see search_ledger [other_primary]
- Locator
- Search ledger sl-uss-sc-714-sc714-01 through sl-uss-sc-714-sc714-08
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No qualifying ship-specific asbestos documentation was established in this review. This is not a confirmed no-litigation result: four required authenticated CourtListener searches were invoked through the helper, but it printed request metadata only and exposed no hit list or result count for classification. Firecrawl searches were also unavailable because the MCP returned KEYLESS_QUOTA_EXHAUSTED with a 72,865-second retry interval.

- Limitations
- A limited negative finding only: no ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, or material record was identified in the accessible authoritative sources reviewed. CourtListener search outcomes remain unclassified, and no inference of no litigation or no asbestos presence is warranted. Firecrawl source-search gap remains open.
