Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current 30-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Hawk-class, patrol and boat providing the first useful test.
