- Finding type
- gov_survey
- Finding
- GAO reviewed Navy use of asbestos in ships and the Navy's asbestos-removal policy at Long Beach and Norfolk Naval Shipyards. Its summary states that the 1975 policy was to remove and replace only insulation that was damaged or had to be removed for repairs, and that the policy changed in 1979 to selectively replace asbestos insulation in high-maintenance areas.

[4]CourtListener API v4 authenticated searches via /Users/charlesfletcher/devin-prompts/cl-auth-search.py: exact-name opinion and docket queries for 'USS YMS-75'; hull-number opinion and docket queries for 'YMS-75'; limit 20 [other_primary]

- Helper diagnostics for each request: 'authenticated request' followed by no returned result page during the execution window
- Finding type
- historical_record
- Finding
- All four required authenticated base queries were initiated. None returned a result page before the shared fleet pacing limiter held the helper beyond the available execution window; no hit can be classified and no litigation conclusion is drawn.

- Limitations
- This is a pending, not negative, litigation result. No asbestos-qualified variants were run because no completed base query showed a 20-result overflow. Re-run the four base queries through the helper when fleet pacing permits; do not infer no litigation from this gap.
