Overall: Article satisfies the length minimum (7,585 characters; 1,334 words); hooks satisfy the length limit. Sourcing is acceptable and the article passed a copyvio scan. I am preferential to the alternate hook because the article does not provide any additional information on the cause of the fire, but it does explain why the ship was called back into service. The image is suitable for the hook, and I added an alt text in the article for accessibility reasons. Great nomination! Thrakkx (talk) 22:31, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
