- Narrative of the 10 November 1944 explosion; paragraph listing nearby ships and motor minesweepers
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- NHHC's account of the 10 November 1944 Mount Hood explosion lists YMS-140 among the motor minesweepers in the nearby-vessel account. It identifies YMS-140 in a historical event context but does not provide a service chronology or asbestos information for this hull.

- Limitations
- This is an NHHC history of Mount Hood, not a YMS-140 ship history. It does not specify damage to YMS-140, establish that its crew was exposed to asbestos, or identify asbestos-containing materials aboard the hull.

- Locator
- Individual hull page at /archives/11/19140.htm
- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- The individual NavSource page is for YMS-140 and corroborates the hull identity used for this record. Its identity information is used to distinguish this numbered minesweeper from similarly written ship designations; it is not used as evidence of asbestos aboard.
