There are two further ways of identifying a ship fitted with bladder tanks:

1. The vertical lines of rivets which hold the baffle plates in place part way along the tanks, are missing.

2. There is no visible fuel tank drain valve on the port side (the drain valve is relocated internally to the starboard side, behind the inspection panel and adjacent to the drain for the starboard tank).
