- Direct DANFS page not loadable without guessing URL (forbidden); identity facts corroborated across DANFS-citing Wikipedia and hullnumber.com. One mirror shows a header typo 'APA-225' (ship.spottingworld.com) while its body and all other sources agree APA-227 - a display typo, not a second identity.
