  1. On the record as SO-2218

    RV-2304: a launch read as SO-2218 and joined to its record.

  2. This vessel before

    How often it breached, its last breach and its usual speed here.

  3. Not this one

    Give a reason, then Not this one. The reading moves to a new provisional record.

  4. Moved to a new provisional record

    The change is in the record's history and can be undone there.

Read the subtitles

In Moderation, open RV-2304. The launch was read as SO-2218 and joined to that record. Identity shows the read, its confidence and the record it is on.

This vessel before shows what the record knows: how often it has breached, when last, and its usual speed here. A launch that usually goes under six knots here, now at eleven, is worth a second look at the frames.

The hull number in the frames is not SO-2218. Type why in Reason, then choose Not this one, beside Open record. The portal says what happens: the reading moves to a new provisional record.

Confirm with Not this one. The reading is on a new provisional record, and the item stays here for its verdict. The change is in the old record's history, where it can be undone.
