Fireboat Phoenix

I think your new article could be expanded a bit more, enough to qualify it for a quick little hook on the the WP:Main page in the "Did you know" section. The text part of the article, the readable prose, would have to double. I think this is not just possible, but fairly easy.

• http://www.fireboat.org/FEMAfireboatsthennowMay2003.pdf There's a case study about the Phoenix on page 21.
• Details of the Phoenix at celebrations, Fleet Week, parades, greeting tall ships (July 2005 and 2008), etc.
• More personal stories such as the 1989 pilot Arvid Havneras.
• Other fires in 1955, 1980, 1984.

These bits, along with crew and mechanical details, a quote from mayor Feinstein, could help the article make the "Did you know" section. Binksternet (talk) 14:27, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
