Improved to Good Article status by L293D (talk) and Sturmvogel 66 (talk). Nominated by L293D (talk) at 03:24, 23 February 2019 (UTC).
I concur with comments from the previous reviewer during the first nomination, and attaining GA status has only reinforced the article's quality. All aspects of the article and images are fine. However, the hook could be improved slightly. I suggest ... that all 15 torpedoes fired by HMS Simoom (pictured) during her career missed their targets, but three instead hit and sank a destroyer?
Additionally, is it necessary to include 'HMS' in the caption? – Teratix ₵ 09:49, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
