Everything looks good, so I am passing this article to GA status. Two comments for you to consider:

Do your sources say how this ship managed to be rammed by two others? This seems rather remarkable.
The lead probably doesn't need to be quite this long for an article of this length. Not a huge deal, but you could probably trim it a bit.

These two things aren't going to hold up the GA promotion, though, so congrats, and nice work on another good article! Dana boomer (talk) 19:03, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
