Swiftsure class battleship

These two predreadnoughts were ordered by Chile during a period of tension with Argentina and then purchased by Britain to keep them out of Russian hands when the Chileans changed their minds and offered them for sale. One was sunk during the Dardanelles Campaign, but the other survived to be scrapped shortly after the end of World War I.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 02:33, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My first nom in a while, I hope you like it. The 2003 season was very interesting for it's high number of landfalls, and articles, but lack of major hurricane (though Nora came quite close). All articles are GA or better, and no real storms can get articles. YE Pacific Hurricane 17:18, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Co-nom, since I wrote Ignacio and rewrote Nora. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:29, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
