A fact from HMS Gloucester (1654) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 13 January 2023 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that a dispute led to HMS Gloucester taking a path that caused the ship to hit a sandbank, leading to it sinking?
The depth of hold is given as 13 ft 6 inch in the text but 14 ft 6 inch in the infobox. This should be clarified. Jossi (talk) 16:41, 4 July 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]
