• A GA already, eh? I'm intrigued... Time for me to review.

• Hook: Fairly interesting, although keeping it simpler would be better. Short enough and AGF on the offline reference.

Article: Length and age check out as the former content removed was a copyvio. Referencing is thorough, but AGF on offline references. Image appears PD.

Summary: Just a little bit of work hammering out the perfect hook, and we're golden! Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:18, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

• What about: ... that the British destroyer HMS Imogen was accidentally sunk by light cruiser Glasgow during the night of 16 July 1940? Leaves the reader guessing and forced to go to the article if they want to know more. Calistemon (talk) 09:01, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
