[2]National Archives, Special List 44: Logbooks of U.S. Navy Ships, Stations, and Miscellaneous Units, 1941–1978, by Ship Numbers [other_primary]
- Locator
- PDF page 116; entry YMS-198, lines 5420–5427 in the PDF text extraction
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- NARA's Special List 44 lists YMS-198 with deck-log coverage from 6/1/1943 through 6/30/1945. This establishes listed archival log coverage for the hull during those dates; it does not establish commissioning or decommissioning dates, service events, or asbestos content.

- Study period
- 6/1/1943–6/30/1945 (listed deck-log coverage)
- Limitations
- This is a finding aid, not the deck logs themselves. Coverage dates describe the listed log holdings and must not be treated as vessel commissioning or decommissioning dates. No asbestos or material information is stated.

[3]NavSource, Auxiliary Motor Minesweeper (YMS) index; the individual YMS-198 page is linked from the index but was not accessible in this session [other_primary]
- Locator
- Auxiliary Motor Minesweeper (YMS) index, YMS-198 link in the YMS-192–YMS-201 sequence
- Finding type
- vessel_history
- Finding
- NavSource's YMS index contains a link labeled YMS-198, corroborating that the individual hull identity is represented in its archive. The index does not state vessel-specific history for YMS-198 in the inspected entry.

- Limitations
- The individual page URL returned HTTP 406 to direct fetch and a cache miss through the web reader. The index corroborates the hull label only; no additional ship-specific history or asbestos information is attributed to it.

[4]Negative finding from bounded primary-source review recorded in this record's search ledger [other_primary]
- Locator
- Search ledger entries sl-01–sl-05
- Finding type
- asbestos_application
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazmat disclosure, or other asbestos documentation for YMS-198 was located in the sources reviewed. Ship-specific asbestos status remains unknown.

- Limitations
- A bounded search result, not proof that no records exist. NARA Special List 44 identifies deck logs but those logs were not examined. Firecrawl searching was unavailable because the connected Firecrawl MCP had exhausted its free quota; CourtListener requests were not completed because the fleet-wide helper reported its shared pacing budget momentarily spent. No class or era inference is made.
