    Finding
    NARA's deck-log inventory lists YMS-79 for 1 January 1943–31 May 1945 with a note to see YMS-78 for 1942; a separate YMS-79 entry lists 26 June 1942–31 May 1946. These are inventory coverage dates only and are not asserted as commissioning, decommissioning, or continuous service dates.

    Study period
    1942-06-26 through 1946-05-31 (inventory listing dates)
    Limitations
    The inventory identifies deck-log holdings and coverage, not the vessel's full service history. The duplicate entries and cross-reference are not resolved here. The listed dates do not establish that logs survive for every day in the span or establish commissioning or decommissioning dates.

    Finding type
    asbestos_application
    Finding
    No ship-specific asbestos survey, abatement record, hazmat disclosure, or other primary asbestos record was located in the accessible sources searched. Asbestos presence aboard USS YMS-79 remains unknown.

    Limitations
    This is a search result, not proof that asbestos was absent. Firecrawl searches were blocked by the keyless service quota, and CourtListener searches were interrupted by the fleet pacing limit; see search_ledger. No class- or era-based inference is made for this hull.
