SS Abukir[edit]

(

)

... that Luftwaffe aircraft bombed SS Abukir for an hour and a half but failed to hit her?

Created by Motacilla (talk). Nominated by Tentinator (talk) at 10:04, 20 December 2013 (UTC).

. Looks good. Nomination meets length (well in excess), newness (created December 17) and policy guidelines (is neutrally written, well-cited, and doesn't appear to closely paraphrase or copy text from sources, based on a clickthrough of source material). Hook is of appropriate length, somewhat interesting (over 90 minutes of bombing without a hit?), inline cited with a reliable source. QPQ doesn't apply, since no self-nomination; no image so not applicable. BusterD (talk) 19:29, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
