    Study period
    4/1/1944–6/30/1945 (log coverage)
    Limitations
    This is a National Archives finding aid describing log coverage, not the deck-log contents. It does not establish the ship's construction or service chronology, asbestos presence, exposure, or current condition.

    YMS-199 index entry between YMS-198 and YMS-200
    Finding type
    vessel_history
    Finding
    NavSource's live YMS archive index lists YMS-199 as an individual hull entry and shows no alternate name or reclassification alongside that entry. This corroborates the YMS-199 hull identity only.

    Limitations
    The linked individual NavSource history at https://www.navsource.net/archives/11/19199.htm returned HTTP 406 on direct retrieval and was not cited. The index is a secondary photo archive, not a Navy primary record; its blank annotation does not prove that no later designation or name existed. It provides no asbestos or exposure evidence.
