    Finding
    Identity packet verdict: VERIFIED (identity; builder and date details UNVERIFIABLE). USS LSM-44 existed and served as a commissioned USN landing ship in WWII. Two independent photographic records: loaded with equipment off the beach during the Iwo Jima operation, captioned 3 February 1945 (caveat: landings began 19 February 1945 — caption date imprecise, flagged not corrected); moored pierside at Nanking, China, April 1949. Not a phantom; not a duplicate.
