- Locator
- YMS index entry at the YMS-143–YMS-150 sequence; individual YMS-147 link
- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- NavSource's live Auxiliary Motor Minesweeper index lists YMS-147 in the YMS sequence and links an individual YMS-147 history page, corroborating the hull identity and YMS type/class placement.

- Limitations
- The index page was live and the individual link resolved to https://www.navsource.net/archives/11/19147.htm, but that page returned HTTP 406 to the retrieval client. The index does not establish construction, commissioning, disposition, asbestos presence, or exposure.

[4]CourtListener authenticated API v4 via cl-auth-search.py; pacing limiter refusal [court_record]
- Locator
- Helper invocation for exact-name opinion query; no CourtListener HTTP response returned
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos litigation finding is made: the prescribed CourtListener sweep was halted when the authenticated helper reported that the fleet-wide pacing budget was momentarily spent before the first request completed.

- 2026-10-04
- Limitations
- This is an incomplete search, not a no-result finding. The remaining three base queries were not run, no asbestos-qualified variants were run, and no conclusion about litigation absence, exposure, causation, or legal eligibility may be drawn.

[5]Batch source review: NARA Special List 44, NavSource YMS index, and official-source search fallback [other_primary]
- Locator
- Search ledger rows sl-uss-yms-147-yms147-01 through -06
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No matching hull or documented designation alias for YMS-147 was located in the primary-source material reviewed for this record; no ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, material list, work package, or hazmat disclosure was located.

- Accessed
- 2026-10-04
- Limitations
- A bounded source review cannot prove that no record exists. Firecrawl was unavailable because its keyless quota was exhausted; the CourtListener sweep was incomplete; and the individual NavSource page was inaccessible. The absence of a located record does not establish absence of asbestos aboard.
