• ... that it was claimed that when the Chinese corvette Yangwu exploded in the battle of Fuzhou that bodies were thrown onto rooftops over 1 mile (1.6 km) away?

• ALT1:... that the flagship of the Fujian Fleet, the Chinese corvette Yangwu, was destroyed 27 seconds into the opening engagement of the Sino-French War?

• I've removed the image - evidence has come to light to say the image wasn't of this ship. Miyagawa (talk) 20:04, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

• Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, and well referenced. ALT1 is interesting and supported by offline references, accepted AGF. Crossing out ALT0 because it's a discredited claim. QPQ is done. No copyvio found. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 17:07, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
