- Locator
- YMS-1 auxiliary minesweeper index, YMS-149 through YMS-155 block

- YMS-151 hull identity
- Limitations
- The linked individual NavSource page was not retrievable from this environment (HTTP 406), so the index—not the individual page—is the verified citation. The index corroborates hull identity but does not establish construction dates, service events, asbestos content, or final disposition.

[6]Primary-source negative finding from the NARA, NHHC, and NavSource searches documented in search_ledger [other_primary]
- Locator
- search_ledger rows sl-uss-yms-151-yms151-01 through -08
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazmat disclosure, asbestos-product identification, or documented designation alias for YMS-151 was located in the primary sources searched. The record therefore does not establish asbestos presence aboard this hull.

- Limitations
- A negative search is not proof that no asbestos was aboard and does not resolve unexamined or undigitized Navy technical records. It also does not establish or defeat exposure causation or legal eligibility. CourtListener searches were authenticated and issued through the required helper; no result payload or qualifying hit was returned, and no asbestos variants were run because no base query overflowed.
