    Finding
    National Archives Special List #44, by ship number, lists Navy logbook coverage for YMS-77 from 1 January 1943 through 6 March 1944 and includes the note 'see YMS-76, 1942.' A separate line lists YMS-77 from 15 May 1942 through 6 March 1944. These are archival log coverage dates, not commissioning or decommissioning dates.

    Study period
    1942-1944 log coverage
    Limitations
    Inventory establishes that NARA lists logbooks under this hull number and reports the stated coverage; it does not establish that the volumes are digitized or inspected, a complete service history, commissioning/decommissioning dates, asbestos aboard, individual exposure, or causation.

    Finding type
    historical_record
    Finding
    No qualifying ship-specific asbestos record was located in the official-source pages and search results reviewed for this record. CourtListener litigation searches were not completed because the authenticated helper could not acquire a fleet pacing token; this is not a negative litigation result.

    Limitations
    A bounded public-source search did not locate asbestos documentation; CourtListener was not searched, and absence of a located record does not establish absence of asbestos aboard. Does not establish quantity, location, condition, exposure, or causation.
