( Back to T:TDYK )
( Article history links: )
Otsego in 1943
- ... that prior to their US Navy service, USS Otsego (pictured) survived an earthquake, and USS Philippines three weeks of storms at sea without a rudder?
Created by Gatoclass (talk). Self-nominated at 10:40, 24 April 2018 (UTC).
- NOTE TO REVIEWER: Otsego was originally named Prinz Eitel Friedrich (see this link - cite 1 in the Otsego article) and Philippines was originally named Bulgaria (see this link - cite 20 in the Philippines article). The rest you can probably work out for yourself. Gatoclass (talk) 13:17, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
Both articles are long enough and adequately sourced, and met the age requirements at the time of the nomination. No copyright infringement or plagiarism was detected. The hook is interesting; information from offline or paywall sources accepted in good faith. Two QPQs have been provided. This is good to go. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:23, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
- Call me nitpicky if you will, but to avoid an argument at ERRORS, I think we need to be absolutely certain about the "survived an earthquake" language. At the moment, my understanding is that it was out to see but thought not to be. I don't know that this gives us sufficient latitude to say it survived an earthquake. Gatoclass, care to comment? I haven't pulled it yet. Vanamonde (talk) 13:24, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
- ALT1 ... that prior to their US Navy service, USS Otsego (pictured) escaped damage in an earthquake, and USS Philippines survived three weeks of storms at sea without a rudder?
