- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- NARA Special List 44 lists Navy deck-log coverage for YMS-196 from 1943-04-16 through 1945-06-30. These are the listed log-coverage dates, not commissioning or decommissioning dates.

- Study period
- 1943-04-16 to 1945-06-30 (listed deck-log coverage)
- Limitations
- The finding aid establishes that logs are listed for this hull and gives the coverage dates; it is not the log content itself and does not establish construction, commissioning, decommissioning, asbestos materials, individual exposure, or present-day condition.

[3]Batch-8850 public-source search ledger for USS YMS-196 (see search_ledger) [other_primary]
- Locator
- search_ledger rows sl-uss-yms-196-yms196-01 through sl-uss-yms-196-yms196-08
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazmat disclosure, or other primary record documenting asbestos aboard YMS-196 was located in the public sources searched. The CourtListener litigation sweep was not completed and is an open gap, not a negative result.

- Study period
- Search conducted 2026-10-04
- Limitations
- A public-source search that located no record does not prove asbestos was absent or present aboard. CourtListener was blocked by the fleet-wide pacing helper before an HTTP request was submitted, so litigation status remains unsearched. NARA Special List 44 is a finding aid only; the underlying deck logs were not examined for asbestos documentation.
