This is a five-fold expansion and is long enough and new enough. Any of the hooks could be used, all having inline citations. The image is in the public domain and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:05, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote ALT1, but the article and source seem to be talking about a U-boat, not a "heavy merchant ship". Please clarify. Yoninah (talk) 22:16, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. Now I see all the information in the article and the source. Restoring tick per Cwmhiraeth's review. Yoninah (talk) 19:05, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
