 * Symbol question.svg I concur with comments from the previous reviewer during the first nomination, and attaining GA status has only reinforced the article's quality. All aspects of the article and images are fine. However, the hook could be improved slightly. I suggest ... that all 15 torpedoes fired by HMS Simoom (pictured) during her career missed their targets, but three instead hit and sank a destroyer? Additionally, is it necessary to include 'HMS' in the caption? – Teratix ₵ 09:49, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Good suggestions, I'v made a new ALT and modified the image caption. L293D (☎ • ✎) 12:56, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
