Comments[edit]

The article could basically be passed at this point, but first I want to check one thing: What exactly is meant by this line from the top paragraph of Service history: "She had been constructed at such a slight tilt that it took nearly an hour and a half to travel down the slips and into the water..." It's not exactly clear to me, as worded. Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 09:59, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Wilhelmina Will: Okay, yes, that passage was not the clearest. Hopefully it makes more sense now. Many thanks, —Noswall59 (talk) 18:49, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
