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, action context, and citation; candidate rank or successful rendering alone was not treated as verification. The current source documents the following alias or alternate identity form on the same controlled identity: Bazan, Philip. The current profile records USS Santiago de Cuba; the inherited unit field Not documented remains preserved as a source variant. The previously unnormalized action date is controlled as 1865-01-15 from the current authoritative profile. The controlled historical action place is Fort Fisher, North Carolina, USA; the complete inherited geocoder value Fort Fisher Historic Museum, 1610 South Fort Fisher Boulevard, Kure Beach, NC 28449, USA remains preserved in the audit evidence. The current authoritative profile classifies the action under Civil War; the inherited unclassified value remains preserved in the audit record. No underlying General Order was examined, so the exact-order gate remains pending and no General Order verification is claimed.
