Please fix the hook formatting; "Gloucester" needs to be in italic font as it is a ship’s name. Schwede 66 15:04, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Done, plus I removed the "the"s before the "HMS"s, per WP:SHIPNAME#Using ship names in articles. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 02:02, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominated four days after GA pass, everything looks good in the article, the hooks are interesting enough, short enough and cited in the article. AGF for offline/paywalled sources. QPQ done. Should be good to go. Ffranc (talk) 14:55, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
