HMS Richard Bacon

 * ... that Richard Bacon had a lengthy career in fishing, as well as serving in both world wars? ALT1: ... that there was a warship named HMS Richard Bacon?
 * Comment: I've not yet reviewed another article, but I will do shortly. Bear in mind that although Richard Bacon is a children's TV broadcaster in the UK - see Richard Bacon (broadcaster) - the ship was named after the 1918 Vice-Admiral of the Dover Patrol.

 * The article is long enough (2928 characters). It was new at the moment of nomination. The hook is not too long (89 characters) and hook facts are stated in the article and immediately followed with inline citations. It is properly formated. The article has appropriate inline citations. I have not discovered plagiarism or close paraphrasing. The article is neutral and hook is hooky.

 * If we go with ALT1, I don't think the HMS would be needed if that'd make it more 'hooky'. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 06:13, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
