Tegetthoff-class battleship

The article is easily long enough and was indeed five-fold expanded by the nominator. The point of view is appropriately neutral, and it appears to be well supported by published sources, though many are offline. I'm a little concerned about close paraphrasing of the offline sources (the nominator's source quotation for the proposed hook is word-for-word the contents of the article; I've changed the hook to be more smooth and less identical to the source), but without access to the books it's difficult to tell. The first definite problem is the lack of a QPQ review; this nominator is way past five DYK credits. Then, the biggest issue is timeliness: the article was nominated twenty-one days after the expansion began (on March 26th, contrary to the heading under which the nomination was placed), way past the official seven-day deadline. I think we have to rule this one ineligible through failure to be "new enough" per the DYK rules. A very fine article, though! Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 18:57, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
