- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- NARA Special List #44 inventories deck logs for YMS-51 covering 8/13/1942 through 5/14/1945. These are log-coverage dates only; they do not establish commissioning, decommissioning, or the ship's complete service period. The log contents were not examined.

- 1942-1945 log coverage
- Population
- YMS-51 shipboard personnel during the listed log-coverage period
- Limitations
- Inventory entry only. It establishes that NARA lists logs for this hull and the listed date span, not what the logs say or when the vessel entered or left service. No asbestos content is stated.

[3]Batch-9131 research review: NARA Special List #44 YMS-51 inventory entry; see search_ledger [other_primary]

- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazmat disclosure, material schedule, or product identification was found in the sole official hull-specific record reviewed, NARA Special List #44. That inventory entry establishes log coverage only and contains no asbestos finding. Ship-specific asbestos status is unknown. The required CourtListener litigation search was not completed, so no negative finding about asbestos litigation is made.

- Limitations
- This is a very limited-search result, not proof that asbestos was absent or that no relevant record exists. Only the NARA log inventory was used as hull-specific evidence; its underlying deck-log content was not examined. The NHHC photograph catalog URL found in search returned HTTP 404 on live verification and is excluded. CourtListener searches were stopped at the helper fleet pacing stand-down. No exposure, material presence, or litigation outcome is established.
