I am nominating this article for a Featured Article Review because the article at present does not meet the Featured Article Critiera, specifically 1c and 2c. There are complete sections that lack any in-line citations, and there are only a total of only 17 in-line cites in the entire article although a plentiful references section is provided. This article's FAC was in August 2005, and as much as I like ships, it does not compare with modern FAs on ships. -MBK004 02:31, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

OK, not sure if this is the correct procedure, but the GRT varies throughout the article. Infobox states 29,083 GRT, article states 29,100 GRT. I suspect 29,083 GRT is the correct figure, but I'll not alter the article myself as I can't be sure of this as fact. Maybe someone will have the proof and be able to sort this one.

 * Remove If I were to reassess this article to the current Ships criteria it would only make a C-class. I placed the refimprove tag last October so there has been plenty of time to resolve this. The lack of inline citations are what is killing this article. --Brad (talk) 01:40, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Not the time for keep/remove declarations. Please see FAR instructions. Joelito (talk) 14:24, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

I think the fair-use rationales for the images are a little weak given that the article contains free-use images of the sinking. DrKiernan (talk) 12:41, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

FARC commentary

 * Suggested FA criteria concerns are citations, copyright of images.  YellowMonkey  ( click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model! '') 00:17, 25 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delist, the citation issues alone are enough let alone any image copyright concerns. I must say that I am saddened that removing FA is necessary since I am active at WP:SHIPS, but I don't have the reference material to save the article. -MBK004 04:58, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delist, citation issues throughout. Cirt (talk) 17:56, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delist, citations are still lacking. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 02:26, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
