    Finding
    An NHHC online reading-room search result for United States Pacific Fleet Organization, 1 May 1945, lists YMS 357 within Mine Squadron One. The page could not be retrieved for live verification during this research session, so this lead is not used to assert a ship-specific operational fact in the record.

    Limitations
    This is a finding about the bounded research performed, not proof that asbestos was absent. Most vessel records, logs themselves, and material or abatement records were not retrieved. No inference is made from class or construction era.
