 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Nice work on this obscure ship. Ibiblio seems to have gone down partway through checking, but from what I could tell before that there are no apparent CP/CV issues and the sources are reliable. Hook sourced, size and date check out. One quibble might be if threedecks.org is a WP:RS, but the facts are cited elsewhere as well. - The Bushranger One ping only 07:26, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
