Every US vessel that needs a HIN must also have a second hidden HIN.
The primary HIN is on the transom or starboard side aft.  The
secondary can be hidden anywhere, even under a fixture.  The HIN
is not the same as the US documentation number.

Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions on and off list.  We'll
look again for the second hidden HIN next time we're aboard.
