- Finding
- The DANFS entry identifies PC-777 as a PC-461-class patrol craft with listed displacement 280 tons, length 173 feet 8 inches, beam 23 feet, draft 10 feet 10 inches, trial speed 20.2 knots, and complement 65. It states she was laid down 7 September 1942 at Commercial Iron Works, Portland, Oregon; launched 12 November 1942; commissioned 8 April 1943; served as a school ship at the Small Craft Training Center, Terminal Island, preparing crews for small craft, and conducted air-sea rescue and reported-submarine investigations in Task Groups 14.2 and 14.3. She went to the Atlantic Fleet in late 1945, apparently decommissioned 26 April 1946 but retained in service, then trained Naval Reservists from Charleston and Savannah. She began inactivation overhaul at Norfolk Naval Shipyard 6 March 1950 and was placed out of service 28 April 1950. The Navy named her Waynesburg on 15 February 1956 and struck her name on 1 April 1959. DANFS says she was presumably sold for scrapping.

- Limitations
- DANFS is an official source, but its current page returned HTTP 404 and no archived copy could be verified in this session. The indexed text is retained as a provisional lead, not represented as a live page verification. DANFS itself qualifies the 1946 decommissioning as apparent and the sale for scrapping as presumed. Its history does not document asbestos, a completed scrapping transaction, or the scrapping location.

- Limitations
- This is a bounded negative finding about the contents of one DANFS entry, not proof that asbestos was absent aboard. The source page was not directly available, Firecrawl search was blocked by exhausted quota, and the planned CourtListener sweep was incomplete. Do not interpret this as a completed comprehensive search.
