 * The periscope thing was a google translate error that I hadn't removed. Yes, "stricken" is a nautical term; it essentially means decommissioned. L293D (☎ • ✎) 20:46, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg The article has been altered since this review was done and the hook will need to be changed to match the article. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:39, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
 * if the problem was that the hook fact was no longer present in the article, that's fixed now. L293D (☎ • ✎) 13:56, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
 * The basic problem is that the article mentions Fulton invented the "first practical submarine" but does not mention a steamboat, while the hook mentions a steamboat but not the submarine. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:15, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
 * this source said that Fulton invented the steamboat, but other sources disagree. Therefore, I'm proposing an other alt:
 * ALT3: ... that the French attack submarine Fulton was named after the American inventor of the first commercially successful steamboat, Robert Fulton? L293D (☎</b> • <b style="color:#000">✎</b>) 14:36, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Restoring tick now that article and hook match up. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:33, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
