Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; current rendered profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.

First Lieutenant is retained as the action rank and Captain as the highest/later rank. The current profile expands the middle name and replaces the inherited bank/geocoder result with the historical Bayong action place.
