 * I added some more to the article. This may be a bit hookier ALT2: ... that the Naval Careers Service is the smallest of the four components of Her Majesty's Naval Service? - Dumelow (talk) 22:58, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article size and expansion check out. I've selected ALT2 as the best hook; it is well-sourced and intriguing. Spot checks indicate no copy-plag issues. This is good to go. That said, I am moderately concerned by the fact that there are no sources that are not from the British government; while as a significant military service branch notability is established, and the RN is of course a RS on its internal workings as far as it goes, it would be nice to have a few "outside" sources added to the article. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:17, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
