    historical_record
    Finding
    National Archives Special List 44, by Ship Numbers, indexes U.S. Navy deck-log coverage for YMS-107 from 1942-08-04 through 1945-06-30. This is archival coverage, not a statement of commissioning, decommissioning, operations, construction, materials, or asbestos content.

    Limitations
    The list is an index of available deck-log coverage only. It does not prove the logs are digitized, state the hull's commissioning or decommissioning dates, identify a builder, record any material aboard, or establish exposure, causation, or legal eligibility.

  3. [3]NavSource Online, Mine Warfare Vessel Photo Archive, YMS-107 [other_primary]
    Locator
    Header timeline and specifications block; page states no DANFS history is available for YMS-107
    Finding type
    vessel_history
    Finding
    The live individual NavSource Mine Warfare Vessel Photo Archive page identifies the hull as YMS-107 and gives a timeline: laid down 13 May 1941; launched 28 March 1942; completed 3 August 1942; struck from the Naval Register 20 March 1946; and transferred to the War Assets Administration in March 1948, with fate unknown. It calls the vessel a YMS-1-class auxiliary motor minesweeper and lists a diesel twin-shaft plant. This independently corroborates hull identity and provides secondary timeline leads.

    Limitations
    NavSource is a volunteer secondary compilation, not an official registry. Its builder location conflicts with other non-authoritative web summaries and was not adopted as a settled fact. This page contains no asbestos survey, material list, exposure evidence, or litigation finding.

    Finding type
    asbestos_application
    Finding
    No ship-specific asbestos documentation was located in the authoritative sources reviewed: no asbestos survey, abatement record, hazmat disclosure, product identification, or completed qualifying litigation result establishes asbestos aboard YMS-107. Ship-specific asbestos documentation remains unknown.

    Study period

    Limitations
    This is a bounded negative research result, not proof that asbestos was absent. CourtListener's required sweep did not complete because the authenticated helper's shared pacing gate prevented results after one completed opinion query; no conclusion about litigation absence is drawn.
