[10]Era inference anchored to DANFS-documented construction and yard periods for this hull [other_primary]
- Locator
- construction-era inference from DANFS dates and documented yard periods
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- Era inference: a nuclear submarine built 1962-64 at Mare Island Naval Shipyard in the peak asbestos era would era-typically have carried asbestos-containing insulation, gaskets, and packing around its secondary steam and auxiliary machinery; the documented Electric Boat Poseidon-conversion (1970-71) and Portsmouth overhaul (1978-80) are yard-disturbance windows of the kind in which era insulation was installed and removed. Nuclear propulsion itself establishes nothing about asbestos; the inference attaches to the conventional steam-side systems.

- Finding
- Name-collision screen: 'Stonewall Jackson' litigation hits in site-index sweeps were dominated by Confederate-history and school/facility naming disputes referencing the general - not the submarine; the hull-number search 'SSBN-634' surfaced no merits-level asbestos opinion - only the pleading-stage roster entries carried as ev-03/ev-04.

[13]Negative finding: no qualifying non-litigation ship-specific asbestos record located across DANFS/NHHC, NVR, museum, and ACM-survey/abatement/disposal sweeps [other_primary]

- Finding type

- Finding
- No hull ACM survey, abatement contract, scrapping/recycling hazmat disclosure, or merits-level adjudicated exposure finding naming USS Stonewall Jackson (SSBN-634) was located. Litigation sweeps produced two pleading-stage complaint-roster allegations naming the hull (Cooks, Halseth - both unadjudicated); no merits-level record or opinion names this hull.
