HMS P222
** ALT1:... that that the British submarine HMS P222 (pictured) was ordered to escort an Allied convoy to Malta on the surface, with the intent that it would be spotted by enemy aircraft and deter potential surface warships from attacking? Source: https://uboat.net/allies/warships/ship/3440.html

 * Comment: Fact is interesting because normally submarines do anything to avoid being spotted and attacked on the surface by aircraft

Improved to Good Article status by L293D (talk) and Sturmvogel 66 (talk). Nominated by L293D (talk) at 03:30, 17 January 2019 (UTC).


 * Passed Good Article recently. Long enough: yes. Within policy: can't see any problems but I don't have access to printed references to check against those for possible copying. Cited well. Contents look OK by comparison with what I can see online (mostly about its sinking/disappearance). Assuming good faith of editor(s). Hook looks interesting and surprising to me. It's preferable to ALT1: the hook is better not explaining. The article does the explaining. Length of hook OK. The source for the hook is online and it confirms its claim. This source looks adequately reliable to me. QPQ done. Image copyright OK but, frankly, the image isn't very striking, at least at a small scale like on the main page. It would help a bit to crop it.
 * Symbol confirmed.svg So, all in all it looks good to me. Thincat (talk) 14:23, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
