USS Black Arrow, USS Eten, USS Paysandu, USS Radnor, USS Santa Olivia

 * ... that USS Black Arrow, USS Eten, USS Paysandu, USS Radnor and USS Santa Olivia (pictured) were among 56 ships converted to troopships for the repatriation of American soldiers after World War I?


 * NOTE TO REVIEWER: This nomination should actually be a pretty easy five QPQ get. The source for the hook for all five articles is this one, from page 4974. Page 4975 gives the "56 ships" part and the individual ships can be found in the table that follows. The table can be rotated using the gadget on the right hand side of the page. Just search for the string "56 ships" in all five articles and you should be able to quickly confirm that the source is in each article. Gatoclass (talk) 02:44, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg All five articles are new enough, long enough, neutral, and well referenced.
 * Hook is interesting enough, considering that it needs to incorporate all five articles, and verified with provided source (thanks for the detailed instruction!). Although I suggest changing the word "troops" to "soldiers", to avoid repetition.
 * Image is public domain.
 * Earwig reports some close paraphrasing issues for the last two articles (the other three are ok), see and . These need to be fixed (unless navsource.org uses public domain USGOV material, in which case close paraphrasing would not be a big deal).
 * Five QPQs are needed.

 * Good job in finding those, but if you look at the sources, you will see they are quotes from the Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, which are all public domain. Gatoclass (talk) 06:43, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
 * That's what I had suspected, but just needed confirmation. -Zanhe (talk) 18:46, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
