    PDF ship-number table, YMS-47 entry (p. 118 in the downloaded PDF text extraction): 'YMS-47 7/3/1942 12/31/1943' and '4/1/1944 10/13/1945'

    historical_record
    Finding
    NARA Special List 44 inventories Navy deck logs for YMS-47 in two coverage spans: 3 July 1942 through 31 December 1943 and 1 April 1944 through 13 October 1945. The inventory establishes the existence and listed date spans of the records, not commissioning, decommissioning, operations, asbestos content, or individual exposure.

    Limitations
    Finding-aid inventory only. The deck-log pages were not reviewed; coverage dates must not be represented as commissioning or decommissioning dates and establish no asbestos material, exposure, causation, or legal eligibility.

    Fulmar (MSCO-47/YMS-47) panel; NARA Catalog links NAIDs 217585194 through 213648015 for January-December 1956
    Finding type
    historical_record
    Finding
    NARA's Navy deck-logs-online page labels the vessel 'Fulmar (MSCO-47/YMS-47),' displays 'Commission: September 1947' and 'Decommission: October 1968?,' and links twelve monthly 1956 catalog entries. This establishes NARA's displayed identity label and the availability of linked 1956 deck-log catalog records; the displayed dates, including the question mark, were not independently checked against underlying commissioning or decommissioning records.

    Limitations
    Online index and catalog links, not a review of the twelve log files or a primary commissioning/disposition order. The page's October 1968 question mark is retained. It does not document shipboard materials, asbestos, exposure, causation, or legal eligibility.

  4. [4]CourtListener authenticated API v4 helper sweep and Firecrawl source-search access check, Batch 9114 [court_record]

    Finding type
    litigation_documented
    Finding
    No qualifying ship-specific asbestos litigation finding is entered. Each of the four required authenticated CourtListener base requests was refused by the fleet-wide pacing limiter before an API search occurred; the live Firecrawl authoritative-source search connector was quota-blocked before searching. These access failures are research gaps, not no-result findings.

    Limitations
    This is deliberately not an absence finding: each helper call reported that the fleet-wide pacing budget was momentarily spent before a CourtListener API request, and Firecrawl returned KEYLESS_QUOTA_EXHAUSTED. Neither condition establishes absence of litigation, asbestos, exposure, causation, or legal eligibility.
