... that the World War II tank landing ship USS LST-1081 (pictured) served as a freighter until wrecked by fire off El Salvador in 1979? "Nickel Ferry (ex-LST 1081 Pima County) was gutted by fire while lying at La Union, El Salvador, 1 Dec 1979." from: Warship International. International Naval Research Organization. 1973. p. 144.- ALT1:... that the World War II tank landing ship USS LST-1081 (pictured) was brought back into service with the US Navy because of the Korean War? "Trouble flared in Korea four years later. The North Korean army burst into South Korea 25 June 1950 and apparently was carrying everything before it. To give added authority to the free world-s stance, many Reserve Fleet units were called back to service. LST-1081 was ordered reactivated 7 August 1950 and, after overhaul, recommissioned 2 February 1951." from:"Pima County". Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships.

General: Article is new enough and long enough |

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation |

QPQ: Done. |
Overall: Article satisfies the length minimum (7,585 characters; 1,334 words); hooks satisfy the length limit. Sourcing is acceptable and the article passed a copyvio scan. I am preferential to the alternate hook because the article does not provide any additional information on the cause of the fire, but it does explain why the ship was called back into service. The image is suitable for the hook, and I added an alt text in the article for accessibility reasons. Great nomination! Thrakkx (talk) 22:31, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
