Why this record matters
“Dalian Naval Academy” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Dalian, Naval and Academy provides the most credible route into that argument.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1018771. Authority coordinates are 38.879, 121.663. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1949 and 1986.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
