 * Symbol question.svg I haven't reviewed any articles in a while, so correct me if I'm doing anything wrong here. Article new enough and long enough. AGF on offline source (Google books is not showing the page for me). Duplication detector did not show any copyright violations. Both images appear fine. Inline citations in the article are fine, though Description section could use some. Also Wreck section is too small and could be merged with the one above it. Hook is short but not directly sourced; we need the fact that it "was laid down on 15 March 1941" to be directly sourced (I'll do it myself) and we also need to state that it sunk sometime (15) in November. Currently -without reading sources-, I have to guess that the Italian attack had sank the ship as it's not stated out clearly. Overall these are small points that can be corrected in few minutes, afterwards the article should be ready.  Mohamed CJ  (talk)  16:27, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm waiting to get the couple of books Sturmvogel added to the bibliography, with which to source description and expand a little. Given that the ship itself was sunk so rapily, there isn't much to be said. Merged para. Sourced sunk date, explicitly said about sinking. So, please wait a few days for the books (I have ordered them at a library, so goodness knows how long I'm afraid. Thanks for the review (QPQ ASAP), Mat  ty  .  007  16:40, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Out of interest, which image is better? Thanks, Mat  ty  .  007  16:40, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Good work. I think the one nominated looks better at this small size. Article is ready pending addition of citations to description section (there is no rush). Have a nice day!  Mohamed CJ  (talk)  16:53, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
 * You too, thanks for the review! Mat  ty  .  007  16:56, 2 April 2014 (UTC)


 * If I may suggest: I think most people won't understand "laid down", so perhaps a link like this -- laid down -- would be appropriate. EEng (talk) 01:56, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
