Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; rendered current reference profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.
The inherited rank-1 Society candidate was confirmed by substantive comparison of identity, service, rank, unit or command, action context, and citation; candidate rank or successful rendering alone was not treated as verification. The current authoritative source expands or normalizes the inherited name from John J. Clausey to John Joseph Clausey; both renderings remain preserved. The action rank Chief Gunner's Mate remains distinct from the later or highest rank Lieutenant. The controlled canonical unit or command is U.S.S. Bennington; the inherited wording Not documented remains preserved as a separately attributed variant. The current authoritative evidence controls the action date as 1905-07-21 and classifies the action under Interim 1899 - 1910; the inherited unnormalized date and conflict values remain preserved in the audit record. The controlled historical action place is San Diego harbor on board U.S.S. Bennington, California, USA; the complete inherited geocoder value San Diego, CA, USA remains preserved in the audit evidence. The inherited full citation remains canonical and checksum-protected; current rendered wording is preserved separately where transcribed. No underlying General Order was examined, so the exact-order gate remains pending and no General Order verification is claimed.
