- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos documentation was identified in the primary-source checks completed for this record. The reviewed NARA deck-log inventory documents log coverage only; it does not identify asbestos aboard YMS-358.

- Limitations
- A bounded search result, not proof that no such documentation exists. Firecrawl search was unavailable because its hosted MCP quota was exhausted. CourtListener's four-query sweep was not completed because the authenticated fleet pacing helper reported the shared request budget spent. No litigation negative is asserted.
