 * Symbol voting keep.svg	Hi White Shadows, review follows: 5x expansion confirmed from 8 September to current condition; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; All sources are offline or subscription based so I could not carry out a check but the copyvio detector throws up no issues; hooks are interesting and are mentioned int he article, my preference is for the original as it seems relatively rare to lose a warship of this era to a gale; AGF on offline sources for the hook facts; QPQ has been done. A great looking article, good to go - Dumelow (talk) 09:00, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
